I agree, I do the exact same thing, exploring through data. However, I
write
my commands in a small main level program, so I can always reproduce
it, and replot it very easily. I usually save off a copy if there is
something interesting
and increment the filename (datalook1.pro, datalook2.pro).

After getting a handle on the data, I use that code as a template for the
real analysis routines, which are always saved so I can always reproduce a
figure
(for a paper or whatever).

Cheers,
bob
