If I understand you correctly, you can achieve what you want by
adding your local directory to the environment variable IDL_PATH.
Include the following command in your startup file:

C shell:
setenv IDL_PATH \+/your_local_dir:\+$IDL_DIR/lib:\+$IDL_DIR/examples

Korn shell:
IDL_PATH=\+/your_local_dir:\+$IDL_DIR/lib:\+$IDL_DIR/example s
export IDL_PATH

Any directories beneath /your_local_dir will be included in IDL's
system variable !PATH that it uses to find routines. (The "+" means
that subdirectories are included.)
