In my experience (OS X), creating a new program file after starting IDL
gives the following behavior (file names appropriated from above):

IDL> file_in_my_path
% Compiled module: FILE_IN_MY_PATH.

Then create a new program file

IDL> another_file_in_my_path
% Attempt to call undefined procedure/function:
'ANOTHER_FILE_IN_MY_PATH'.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL> .r another_file_in_my_path
% Compiled module:.ANOTHER_FILE_IN_MY_PATH

So, automatic compilation does not work, but manual compilation does. I
still don't understand that.
