nsave

procedure nsave, nsave, [index=integer], [dc=data container], [ok=variable]

Save a data container to the current fileout with the indicate NSAVE value. If the !g.sprotect flag is true and nsave already exists, then the output file will not be changed and a message to that effect will be printed out. Otherwise, if nsave exists it will be overwritten with the data being saved so that there will only be at most one instance of each nsave value in any file. The data can be recovered by specifying the nsave search parameter. See the examples.

Examples 
   getps,10  ; get some data
   ; do stuff to it
   nsave,50  ; its now in nsave=50
   ; do more stuff to that data, oops, thats no good
   ; back to previous state
   kget,nsave=50
