reports illegal unit string for using scantable on multiple files - and a request.

The file "../Data_MPCOR/2006-05-04_0524-M136.rpf" contains ok data, I can run scantable on it separately, with success.

I'm not sure of the best way to load in multiple files. At the moment, there is a problem with averaging multiple scans together so I'm using scantable. depending on the limitations, I'd suggest that having a limit of only 4 files is not very useful for those needing to average many files together. I have >10 files that I need to avaerage together, for example.

scantable needs either one filname string "abc.rpf", or a list of filenames ["abc.rpf", "def.rpf"] This could be documented a little better.

I close this now.
