I want something that will read one of the filenames and insert it into my program.
How I have it set up right now, I'm using this command line:
name =''
read, 'What is the filename?', name

Then I use a READCOL command to plot the data:

READCOL, name, …

I'd like it if I could have the "name" part automatically filled in with the names on the list. One by one of course. Once the name is inserted, the rest of the command does its thing and I get a graph of the data.

If it helps, I'll post my program.
