A similar question has been asked very recently by someone else - are
you guys related in any way? (e.g. takeing the same class or
something).
Gavin already pointed out that adding to other peoples packages can
(should) not be done - at least not cleanly. He has also pointed out
save and load so your problem is probably solved. On the other hand,
there could be more to your question, so I'd like to ask WHY you would
like to add your own dataset to an exisiting package. Are you simply
interested in having you data available in the next session or do you
have something else in mind (e.g. distributing the data to others).
