Re: [ferret_users] list and save commands

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Patrick,
This second example looks like a bug. Ferret should tell you that you 
are trying to write two variables of the same name. Ferret doesn't 
automatically rename variables that have duplicate names, as it does for 
coordinate axes.  What is happening is that the second variable 
overwrites the first in the file and of course you would want to see an 
error message saying that there is already a variable of that name in 
the output file.
