My first guess would be:
1. read the files
2. plot the data

But I am not an expert.

Cheers,

Just a reminder of how to ask questions that will elicit useful answers:

Hi Brent-

What have you tried? What's not working? Etc, etc.

It's probably a good idea to spend some time at Coyote's website: http://www.idlcoyote.com/. His book is quite a helpful resource as well.

In fact, there's a post about how to read ASCII data - which is what you're looking for.
