Well, I use speedbar for seeing overall directory structures of files
and their contained procedures and functions.  But there's also a
quick folding if you just want to see what's in the file you're in,
try set-selective-display:

http://emacs.wordpress.com/2007/01/16/quick-and-dirty-code-folding/

"I often want to hide all function bodies in a file, to get a quick
summary of it contents. As it happens, you don't need any package or
extra configuration for that. Just go to any source file, type

        M-1 C-x $

and magic happens! As usual, it's white magic: C-x $ will bring your
code back."


I won't get into everything, but for jumping to a function, or
procedure, idlwave-find-module bound to C-c C-v is the best invention
evah.

I suppose I'll stop using emacs when they stop sup****ting it.  But I'm
betting I'd stop using IDL before stopping emacs.
