IDL string input HELP!! [message #40056]

I have a IDL program that reads in ASCII data and is to plot 2 columns of
the 8 that are in the file. Right now, I am using makeplot & read_ascii in
my code, which is fine except when it wants to read in the times - which
are given in the form HH:MM:SS.MS. When IDL outputs the ASCII data in a
terminal window, the time will come up as HH.0000, which is not good. It
was recommend to me to read in the date as a string, but I didn't work. I
am sure I messed it up. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Here
is the code that I have so far:

PRO makeplot, ac_ho_mfi_86586_revised
a = read_ascii(ac_ho_mfi_86586_revised)
print, a.field1
x = a.field1(1, *)
y = a.field1(3, *)
plot, x, y, psym = 4

end
