The grammar is ABOUT nnnnnnnn to display the list of adverbs, verbs, procedures and tasks related to topic nnnnnnnnn. Adverbs: DOCRT.......Allows the output to go directly to the line printer if DOCRT < -1. Else the terminal is used. OUTPRINT....Disk file name in which to save the line printer output. ' ' => use scratch and print immediately for interactive jobs - batch jobs use OUTPRINT = 'PRTFIL:BATCHjjj.nnn' (jjj = job #, nnn = user #). When OUTPRINT is not blank, multiple outputs are concatenated and the file is not actually printed. VERSION.....Version of ABOUT information desired, i.e. 'OLD', 'NEW'. See HELP VERSION for details. The list of categories recognized is as follows (where only the upper case letters shown in the name are actually used): ADVERB POPS symbol holding real or character data ANALYSIS Image processing, analysis, combination AP Tasks using the "array processor" ASTROMETry Accurate position and baseline mesurements BATCH Running AIPS tasks in AIPS batch queues CALIBRATion Calibration of interferometer uv data CATALOG Dealing with the AIPS catalog file COORDINAtes Handling image coordinates, conversions EDITING Editing tables, uv and image data.
