What's wrong with a 3D array [14,512,5] ?
What does the pointer business do for you here?

Don't you want something like this:
numFiles = 14
boo = PtrArr(numFiles)
FOR j=0,numFiles-1 DO BEGIN
data = Read_Data(files[j])
boo[j] = Ptr_New(Reform(data), /No_Copy)
ENDFOR
Now, each pointer points to an array of 512 columns and 5 rows
(to make accessing each row faster!).
If you want the 5th vector of the 7th pointer:
thisRow = (*boo[6])[*,4]
Cheers,
David

I did not want to fill one array with all my data. I figured pointers
might work well and allow faster plotting; however I got it to work
with a 2D array (14,512)as well.
Thanks
