I found this in my travels.

Alternately, if you are only interested in a few node voltages and 
device currents, you can restrict the quantity of saved data by using 
the .save directive to save only those specific node voltages and device 
currents. In the directive, add the “dialogbox” option to display all 
available nodes and currents so you can choose to save additional data 
of interest.

.save V(out) I(L1) V(in) dialogbox
