Probably a really simple read_ascii quesion.... [message #68150]

I am trying to read in a text file (which is in column format) using
read_Ascii. Most of my variables read in fine, with the exception of
the "time" colum, where data is in HH:MM:SS format. (IDL reads these
in as 1.0000). Anyone know how to get around this?
I did try playing with ascii_template (although I don't really want to
have to use it), but for some reason , won't work and gives me the
error message:
Variable is undefined: SCREEN_SIZE.
Error occurred at: AT_WIDGET 1364 C:\RSI\IDL63\lib
\ascii_template.pro
ASCII_TEMPLATE 1690 C:\RSI\IDL63\lib
\ascii_template.pro

I have the annoying feeling that this can be answered
straighforwardly, and I just can't see it! Thanks in advance....
