> OK, as soon as I ask come up with something on my own. It looks like i can use findfile to put all the files in a string array. Then I could just use a for loop to read each single one. Now I'm thinking what I really would like to do is distinguish between them based on their headers. Off to study FITS some more. Feel free to ignore the post, unless of course you have some sage advice. I'm all ears. I've read through several posts and find them extremely
helpful. Thanks to everyone who contributes. Hopefully I can get this stuff down well enough to actually contribute myself.

Use File_Search, rather than FindFile. You will find *all* the files you
are looking for that way. :-)

Cheers,

David
