; NAME:
;       WRITE_CSV_DATA
;
; PURPOSE:
;
;       This procedure allows the user to write a 2D array in a format
;       suitable for inclusion in a spreadsheet. By default it produces
;       a comma separated ASCII data file, but any other delimiter can
;       also be used.

;       Write_CSV_Data, theData
;
; ARGUMENTS:
;
;        data:            A 2D array of data to write in spreadsheet format.
;
; KEYWORDS:
;
;        COLUMNHEADERS:   A vector of column headers. Must be the same size as the X dimension
;                         of the data array. This argument is optional.
;
;        DELIMITER:       The type of delimiter to use between array values. By default, a comma (",").
;                         If you wanted to use a tab, for example, you would set DELIMITER=String(9B).
;                         The value must be a string scalar.
;
;        FILENAME:        The name of the output file. Will be requested of the user if not passed in.
;
;        WIDTH:           The width of the output line. The default is 1600 characters. The width
;                         must be wide enough to accommodate a row of the data array, written as
;                         a string vector (with deliminators).
