Yes, just put them into a single file.

The only trick is to get IDL to compile all the procedures in that file.
There are 2 approaches to this:

- If the package has a single "user-callable" procedure or function
(as opposed to "private" procedures), or at least a single procedure or
function which is always called first, then do the following:
(Assume that procedure or function is called MY_PROGRAM)
- Name the file MY_PROGRAM.PRO
- Put procedure or function MY_PROGRAM as the last one in the file.
If you do this then the first time MY_PROGRAM is called, IDL will find file
MY_PROGRAM.PRO and compile all procedures and functions in that file until it
finds the one called MY_PROGRAM.

- If the file has more than one "user-callable" entry point, then put the
following line in your IDL_STARTUP procedure:
- .RUN MY_PROGRAM
