Dear Ulf and the others,

Maybe I'm missing something, but if the problem is finding the file path
of a given compiled routine, why not use ROUTINE_INFO with the /SOURCE
keyword (and, if appropriate, /FUNCTION)? Like this:

IDL> .run test
IDL> help, /structure, routine_info('test',/source)
** Structure <82329dc>, 2 tags, length=16, refs=1:
NAME STRING 'TEST'
PATH STRING '/users/weitkamp/idl/test.pro'

Avoids parsing HELP's output (which may even change in future versions of
IDL). But maybe that takes away all the fun?

And then, admittedly, although ROUTINE_INFO can do a lot of things, one
thing I think it doesn't do is find out the name of the current routine
(as HELP, /CALLS does).

Cheers,
Timm
