Jeffrey,

I think if you 'close 1'  before 'open...'-ing the next CTL file, you'll
get what you want.  Don't forget to take the ".1",".2",".3",".4" off the
variable names when you display. Since you only have one file open at a
time, you just need to do 'd slvl' (or 'd slvl.1', which is equivalent).
