Examples

## init.name.exp() ## To create the look-up table.

## This is what you should see:
## Are you creating a new batch.exp file or adding new data names
## to a prexisting batch.exp file? 
## Enter "n" for creating  and "a" for adding new data names: n
## Enter the batch name for the new .exp file: mouse1
## Enter the number of names of files to be entered: 2
##  Enter the R name of your  1 th dataset: m1
##  Enter the actual file name including the full path name for m1 ?
##  ~/path/image1.data 
##  Enter the R name of your  2 th dataset: m2
##  Enter the actual file name including the full path name for m2 ?
##  ~/path/image2.data 
## Finished adding names to .exp file.
## NULL

## View the look-up table.
## init.show.exp("mouse1") 
## 
##    Name in R           Filename
## 1        m1    ~/path/image1.data
## 2        m2    ~/path/image2.data
