But if i want to manipulate the processed data as an array right away, is there a way to retrieve the data in memory and manipulate them directly? In the past the general way for me to deal with this kind of situation was to write the data into files, and then read the files into objects and manipulate the objects,
but i figure there must be a shortcut which allows me to skip this time-consuming step of writing and reading.

Alas, if you could do this the secrets of ENVI would fall open to you,
and the gods would descend on you and destroy you. :-)
