Short answer, no. Long answer, probably not. Longest answer, maybe,
but I don't have time now to investigate such a significant rework.
Good luck,
Craig

I once tried this from within the .sav file. And I got the error like
'EXECUTE function not available'. If I remember correctly, that is one of
the drawbacks of IDL virtual machine. So is it possible to avoid using
EXECUTE function in your cmsvlib? Thanks!

Rather than hacking some arbitrary data onto the end of the save file,
why not append the entries directly to the save file as legitimate
save-file variables?
You should be able to do this with CMSAVE, ..., /APPEND
Good luck,
Craig
