Very good point Reimar, I had not considered what would
happen in a sav file. I rarely use them, usually only for an
interim data storage solution in development.
Perhaps I will switch over to an /examples keyword.

I also include a /help keyword too, to remind the user (i.e. me)
what keywords are available and how to use the routine, but it
would probably be better to make a help file or some other real
documentation.

Cheers,
bob
