Ian (and all on the list) The only way I have tested the root file generated by save as reference is to read it in with the other button, namely the one that says read reference file. Pressing save as reference simply writes the current BrSuperMonitor. So if you want to read it in, all you will have access to is the BrSuperMonitor which has all of your information, but is not very accessible to you. In writing these routines, I only made provisions for using that to overlay onto current histograms. The information you want is, of course, all in there. But BrSuperMonitor distributes it to the added monitors which in turn use the lists to eventually get to the actual histograms. What you want to do is logical and useful. I will give it some thought on how to make it easy to do with these files or provide another easy way to do it. The short answer to your question is that you can't do that right now.
