I haven't used ascii_template that much. It returns a structure,
which you than pass to read_ascii via the 'template=' keyword, right?
If you're reading files that have the same structure, you can just
save the template to a save set (using save,variable,file=filename)
which you restore when required. If you're talking about creating the
template on demand, either you go through the Gui, or you prize apart
how the structure works and fill the fields by hand. Then return to
the previous step.
