Can I train the SAME neural network with multiple datasets using Neural Fitting Tool?

After training the network for the first time I get the option of either retraining it with the same data set, or by pressing NEXT just to test it over a new one. If I go back and add a new data set it seems that the former network is lost and training begins from scratch.

You can combine all the data sets you want to use to train your NN into a single dataset simply by cascading them.
For instance, you have data set 1 with input u1 and output y1, and data set 2 with u2 and y2. than you create a new data set by simply defining u = [u1;u2] and y = [y1;y2].

In order to not forget a learned dataset while learning a new one:
Continue training with a mixture (NOT a concatenation!) of the
two. The training ratio should be approximately the same as the
expected ratio in the implementation space.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for formally accepting my answer

Greg,
Could you elaborate on creating a mixture of the two data sets? I am trying to train a network to classify using 4 sets of training data. I need the network to learn each set of data so that when I use the testing data the output is classified using the results of the data used to train.
