'vp_files.dat' in the current directory (or a file corresponding to the the environment variable VPFFILES) can contain filenames and wavelength ranges, along the lines of filename, order#, low wavelength, high wavelength, for example:
ct92.ec 1 5950 6036
2 5793 5937
3 5644 5783
4 5505 5635
5 5370 5500
6 5245 5370
7 5120 5245
8 5005 5125
9 4893 5010
10 4786 4903
11 4685 4797
12 4590 4696
sa.ec 3 4307 4368

5 4480 4541
6 4570.4 4633
7 4665 4730
8 4765 4830.5
9 4865.8 4936
10 4976 5044
11 5090 5140
12 5140 5156.5
b92.ec 1 3738 3793
2 3801 3855
3 3867 3925
4 3934.6 3995.2
5 4004 4064.3
6 4076.9 4138.2

... this can then be used to search for regions of interest, by typing ? in response to the filename prompt from vpgti (see below), e.g.:

 Filename   2 or ? (lam,n) [ct92.ec]:
?
 Ion, redshift?

... etc.

You can take this a bit further, if you have already input parameters for
a system (say #1) at z=3.08822 for SiII (say from 1260), then a response
? (wavelength wanted) (system number) will cause a list of regions
containing that redshifted wavelength to be printed:

 Filename   2 or ? (lam,n) [ct92.ec]:
? 1193 1
  File               order ion      lam0      f'    @lam   low    high
 ct92.ec              10   SiII    1193.29  0.499  4878.4 4786.0 4903.0
 sa.ec                 9   SiII    1193.29  0.499  4878.4 4865.8 4936.0
 Filename   2 or ? (lam,n) [ct92.ec]:
... etc.

  This is quite useful if you are dealing with lots of lines in a messy system.
