    ## 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
