Richard,

I've always used the following syntax to SAVE variables:

SAVE, VAR1, VAR2, ..., VARN, /XDR, FILE = 'idl.sav'

and I've never had any problems under IDL 4.0 or 5.0. If you gather your
variables into a structure, then all you have to do is SAVE the
structure itself, e.g.

STRUCT = { Date:VAR1, Time:VAR2, Latitude:VAR3, Longitude:VAR4 }
SAVE, STRUCT, /XDR, FILE = 'idl.sav'

The XDR keyword doesn't seem to add much overhead, and it's tremendously
useful to be able to port the save files between platforms (between SGI
and Linux for example).

Cheers,
Liam.
