  REFERENCE_TXT Documentation of the 'reference.txt' file that is used by DIRSTRUCT objects

   The DIRSTRUCT class is intended to manage experimental data. The data are organized
   into separate test directories, with each directory containing one epoch of
   recording.  Each such directory has a file called 'reference.txt' that contains
   information about the signals that were acquired during that epoch.  The user
   can query the DIRSTRUCT object to see what type of signals were recorded and to load data.

   The file 'reference.txt' describes one signal on each line with a name and
   reference number pair and a record type.  For example, if one were to record
   from two single electrodes, one in lgn and one in cortex, and this was the first
   spot visited in cortex and the second spot visited in lgn, one might use the
   following as the reference.txt file (spaces are tabs, include field title line):

   name    ref    type
   lgn     2      singleEC
   ctx     1      singleEC

   The NAME and REFERENCE of an entry are referred to as a name/ref pair.
   For example, mynameref = struct('name','lgn','ref',2) is a name/ref pair
   that refers to the entry with name 'lgn' and reference number 2.

   One can using the DIRSTRUCT object to search for the directories where
   NAME/REF pairs were recorded, or to identify all NAME/REF pairs that are in
   an experiment.
