calling a user-named procedure [message #7799]

hi,
i would like to be able to call a procedure whose name is given by the user during execution. example:

pro stuff,filename
...
call/execute, filename ;this is the line i cannot figure out
...

where filename is a string holding the name of a procedure (.pro file) input by the user e.g. from

pro junk
...
print,'input filename'
read,filename
stuff,filename ;call procedure stuff with filename as the argument
...

i have tried different syntaxes of execute and call_procedure but to no avail.
either i am just not phrasing things correctly, or i am on the wrong track.
does anyone know if this can be done, and if so, how?

thanks,
eddie
