I read twice things not right. He asked for user input parameters.
But I can't answer how to do it without writing to a file.
Did you know the idl journal command?

Afterwards this file could be called again by @my_user_journal from the IDL>

Hi,
Sorry for the confusion. I just want my stand alone application to have a
small "memory" interactively. For example, I have a program, say,
'mypro.sav' and needs user to input a series of parameters, say p1, p2
...pn through an input gui. Then the program runs perfect. But then if
the next run the user only need to change a small fraction of the
parameters, it would be nice that my program can have a small memory so
that my gui displays the parameters input last time and the user need
only change maybe one parameter and press 'enter' to continue the
rest of the calculations.
The idea comes from my colleagues and I still can't think of a way without
creating some additional log file. Maybe somebody can tell me how to hack
the .sav file so that i can dock some data into a specific region without
breaking the .sav file.
Thanks,
Yunxiang
