 LOADing of data from a file and SAVing these data and more to the same file

 This function loads data from a mat-file. The even input variables P2,P4,...
 are renamed according to the odd input variables P1,P3,...
 Then all variables, the loaded and the input variables, are saved to the
 same data mat-file.
 This function works like save, however, new variables are appended and
 identical variables are overwriten. (workaround for Matlab4)
 In Matlab 5 this function is not directly necessary, because slective 
 saving of variables and appending of variables is possible. However,
 the function still works in Matlab 5.

 Remark: Loading the mat-file every time may consume loads of memory.
         Thus, use careful and keep the amount of memory in mind.

 Syntax:  loadsave(FileLS, P1,P2,P3,P4,P5,P6,P7,P8,P9,P10,P11,P12,P13,P14,P15,P16,P17,P18,P19,P20)

 Input parameters:
    FileLS    - String containing the name of the mat-file
                   if the file doesn't exist, it will be created
    P1-P20    - (optional) input variables
                   even numbers: string containing name of next variable
                   odd  numbers: matrix with values of variable
                   example: P1 contains the name of the variable in P2
                            P3 the name of the variable in P4 and so on

 Output parameter:
    no output parameter

 Example:
  % mat-file 'filename.mat' doesn't exist
  >>loadsave('FileName', 'var2', var2, 'var3', var3)
  % now mat-file 'filename.mat' contains 2 variables with name var2 and var3

  >>loadsave('FileName', 'hell5', hell5, 'blurr2', blurr2)
  % now mat-file 'filename.mat' contains 4 variables: var2, var3, hell5, blurr2
