Tim,
the problem is that the executive commands (for example, .run etc) cannot
be called from normal program code. You should make the distinction in the
procedure body, for example:

pro wrapper
IF !version.os EQ 'vms' then begin
print,"wrapper: VMS version"
(VMS code goes here)
endif else begin
print,"wraper: UNIX version"
(UNIX code goes here)
endif
end

best regards

Michel
