I think it would make more sense to write an IDL
retrieval FUNCTION that could restore the data, stuff
it into a structure of some sort, and return that.

IDL> data_1 = GetSavedVarariables('file_1.sav')
IDL> data_2 = GetSavedVarariables('file_2.sav')
IDL> Plot, data_1.experiment, data_2.experiment

Cheers,

David
