That occurred to me, too, But...you know how it is.
Some days just seem like Fridays from the get-go. :-)

Indeed. That sounds like a plan. Works nicely.
Thanks for the idea. Should have thought of it myself, though.

I think it would make more sense to write an IDL
retrieval FUNCTION that could restore the data, stuff
it into a structure of some sort, and return that.
IDL> data_1 = GetSavedVarariables('file_1.sav')
IDL> data_2 = GetSavedVarariables('file_2.sav')
IDL> Plot, data_1.experiment, data_2.experiment
Cheers,
