Based on the complete text of Jim's article, I doubt he meant what I'm about
to propose, but...

If you regard a "procedure" as a _collection_ of functions to perform a
given task, his statement makes sense.  Of course, this observation can
at best give rise to bickering about terminology, but we see so very
little of that around here as it is :-)
