;PROCEDURE:  tplot_save , name ,filename=filename, limits=limits
;PURPOSE:
;   Store tplot data in a file.
;INPUT:
;   name:   (optional) tplot handle or array of tplot handles to save.  If
;	    no name is supplied, tplot_save will save all defined tplot
;	    handles.
;KEYWORDS:
;   filename:  file name in which to save data.  A default suffix of .tplot or
;	       .lim will be added to this depending on whether the limits
;              keyword has been set.  If not given, the default file name is
;	       saved.tplot or saved.lim.
;   limits:    will save only limits structures.  No data will be saved.
;   NO_ADD_EXTENSION:  Set this to prevent the addition of the extension
;
