Humm, this may be a trick question. Let me try to
answer the question I think you are trying to ask.

Are you trying to do something like this:

**************************************************
PRO DrawIt, procedure, data,_Extra=extra
On_Error, 1
IF N_PARAMS() NE 2 THEN Message, 'Need two parameters.'
IF Size(procedure, /TName) NE 'STRING' THEN $
Message, 'First parameter must be a string.'

ok = Execute(procedure+ ', data, _Extra=extra')
IF NOT ok THEN Message, 'Procedure execution failed.'
END
*****************************************************

Then,

IDL> DrawIt, 'Surface', dist(30)
IDL> DrawIt, 'Contour', dist(30), NLevels=12, /Follow
IDL> DrawIt, 'Plot', Findgen(11)

Cheers,

David
