Thanks Nils, this seems like a good idea. I have tried this but am not getting good results. What I am doing precisiely is this: I am importing my data in .general format. I then attempt to use the rename module to change the name of a variable of my choice to "positions". I use a selector to choose the variable to be replaced. However, whichever variable I choose I get this error: ERROR: Rename: Missing data: input is not a field, or has no x component. (or whatever component is selected.) The components clearly do exist because the selector recognises them. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or give me another solution to my original problem? Cheers Owen. -- ****************************************************** ------>Please note my new email address below!!<------ ------------------------------------------------------ Owen Matthews Theoretical Astrophysics Tel: +44 (0)116 2522084 University of Leicester Fax: +44 (0)116 2522070 University Road Leicester [EMAIL PROTECTED] LE1 7RH ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.astro.le.ac.uk/~owm ******************************************************
