;NAME:
; thm_ui_set_active_dset
;PURPOSE:
; sets active datasets in themis GUI to given tplot varnames, used in
; the call_tplot widget.
;CALLING SEQUENCE:
; ss = thm_ui_set_active_dset(gui_id, active_names)
;INPUT:
; gui_id = the widget id for the master widget
; active_names = the tplot variable names
;OUTPUT:
; ss = the subscripts of the valid active varnames in the full
;      tnames() array
;HISTORY:
; 22-jan-2007, jmm, jimm@ssl.berkeley.edu
; 27-feb-2007, jmm, removed call to set_state_ptrs routine
; 10-may-2007, jmm, changed argument list, to use the GUI_ID and not
;                   the state structure
; 7-may-2008, jmm, Slight change to avoid putting in invalid names
