adding new colormap to a saved set of colormaps

MATLAB newbie. Softball question...

I've got a custom colormap file ('mycolormaps'). It currently has a single custom colormap in it, but I want to add a couple more. When I create a new map and try to add that to existing 'mycolormap' file, I end up overwriting the original map with the new one. Here's what i'm doing.

load ('mycolormaps');

%create a new map - called let's say 'myNewGray'

save mycolormaps myNewGray;

This overwrites the original colormap in mycolormaps with myNewGray. There must be some similar command to append myNewGray to the mycolormaps file instead of overwriting?

Thanks!

Mike

Many thanks Adam. To paraphrase - RTFM!
