You say "datafile," but then you talk about "function"s. RSI does not
guarantee that IDL SAVE files containing functions or procedures will
be compatible between versions. You may have to recompile the .PRO
files with 5.3 to make a new save file.
If you really are having trouble restoring variables, that would be
interesting. I understood that this was always supposed to work.
