I somtimes use the following for IDL on a VAX, but I guess it should work
on other platforms as well:

Create a file that looks like
.run PRO1
.run PRO2
.run FUNCTION1
.run PRO3
MAIN_PRO

where the last line is an IDL call to MAIN_PRO, where MAIN_PRO is your main
code (that you made into a procedure) that calls PRO1, PRO2, etc

Then define an operating system symbol, that for VAX would look like
RUNNIT == "$IDL_DEV:[IDL_DIR]IDL MY_DEV:[MY_DIR]MY_FILE"

Typing RUNNIT at the DCL prompt invokes IDL, compiles PRO1, PRO2, etc
and begins executing MAIN_PRO

Does that help?
