DAY 8- "Copy and Waste"

So today Jake told me to look through his directory for specific procedures to help me with the unorganized column problem found in out2 and out3 files. I located them and transfered them to my directory. However they are functioning procedures in IDL, so Jake told me to copy and paste specific functions and pieces of these procedures and create my own program. However I could not get them to work and I am having a little trouble comprehending the syntax. Unfortunately I am only here for a half-day because I have an early soccer game today and I have to be home around 1:30. I will pick up where I left tomorrow...
