You can use the MESSAGE procedure, e.g.

pro testpro
message, 'Entered...', /informational
; do stuff
end

IDL> testpro
% TESTPRO: Entered...
IDL>

I use this in concert with a debug keyword, e.g.

pro testpro, debug=debug
if ( keyword_set(debug) ) then $
message, 'Entered...', /informational
; Do stuff
end

You can also pass an empty string.

cheers,
