Hi Ned, You write: "Unfortunately, Mathematica returns all 240000 pieces of data I'm using every time I call them in a variable." I'm a bit puzzled by this remark. You are calling them in a variable? It's possible to call a function, but to call a variable? Do you mean you assign them to a variable? In that case, a simple semicolon at the end of the assignment statement will surpress printing of the assigned data. As of version 6, Mathematica catches large output and shows only part of it. Are you using an earlier version? Furthermore you write: " When I open up my notebook to try to find my results, my computer crashes from displaying so many numbers at once." Again, this is a puzzling statement. It suggests that you have this 240000 pieces of data right there in this notebook. Can't you use Import or the lower level Read/ReadList functions and read from an external data file? Also, your results are not automatically saved in your notebook. So, opening the notebook looking for results won't usually do you much good unless you have saved the notebook after the calculation. But then, I don't think that a file that can be saved can't be opened. Come to think about it: are you fitting a pde to these 240000 pieces of data? Isn't that a little bit overspecified?
