To create a 92 DAT variable, you must use the command NewData like this:

NewData [data_var], [list1], [list2], ...

Each of the named lists becomes a column of the new data variable.

In order to change the data file through a program, I think you have to
copy all its columns to lists, edit the lists, delete the DAT variable,
and use NewData to create the DAT file again from the lists.

The data file is accessed just like an array except the rows and columns
are reversed, so this

  mat>list(datafile[1]) -> list1

will create list 'list1' from the first column of the array.
