%PR_GETDATA Loads PRTOOLS dataset for any toolbox (mat-files)
%
%               OUT = PR_GETDATA(URL,SIZE,DSET,FIELD,ASK)
%               OUT = PR_GETDATA(URL,SIZE,DFILE,TYPE,ASK)
%
% Checks the availability of the PRTools dataset DSET or datafile DFILE.
% By default DSET is COMMAND.mat with COMMAND the name of the calling
% m-file. If this is not available in the directory of COMMAND the URL will
% be downloaded. If ASK = true, the user is asked for approval. 
% If given, SIZE (in MByte) is displayed in the request.
%
% A mat-file returns a structure with fields pointing to stored variables.
% If available, the dataset DSET stored in FIELD (default 1) is returned in
% OUT. In case of a datafile DFILE, it is created, if necessary, with given
% TYPE and returned in OUT. In case the download was successful but no
% dataset or datfile could be created (e.g. because of empty TYPE) OUT is
% empty, otherwise an error is generated.
%
% This is a low-level routine, typically used in COMMAND and not called
% from the command line. COMMAND should take care that a proper dataset
% is constucted and returned to the user.
