Hi, this is the error message I get when I try to run:

??? Error using ==> load
Unknown text on line number 1 of ASCII file
C:\figures\for_paper\xyz.fig

Opening a Figure File
To open a figure file, perform these steps:
Select Open from the File menu or click the Open button on the toolbar.
Select the figure file you want to open and click OK.
The figure file appears in a new figure window.
You can also use the open command.

Or ..., perhaps you want hgload?

Thank you. hgload is what I need.
