If you have the file view set up in RAMADDA, open your RAMADDA catalog in the 
IDV's catalog chooser.  There you should be able to select multiple files at 
once (ctrl-click).
You'll need to set the Data Source Type to Trajectory Sounding files because 
the IDV won't recognize the type from the RAMADDA URLs.
