Recommendation: Names of matrix files should be strings starting by characters A-Z ! _ & Names starting by other characters are treated as scalars. Temporary matrix files created by sucros should have names starting systematically by one of the characters ! _ &. Then, for example, matrices starting by ! can be easily deleted at the end of the sucro by the command MAT KILL !*.MAT Many (statistical) Survo operations give results as matrix files with the extension .M (like CORR.M and MSN.M in CORR). A list of such matrices is found by MATRES?
