HELP SECTION

DFILEBOX
Type:  verb
Use:   To delete boxes from an existing boxfile.  The BOXFILE is read
       into memory for the selected field and the boxes are displayed
       on the TV.  Any box that appears at least partially in the TV
       picture may be deleted.

       The terminal will issue instructions.  If there is more than one
       image on the TV, the routine asks the user to point out the image
       with which to convert the input boxes to TV pixels for the
       initial display of them.  The routine begins in a "search" mode.
       In this mode, move the cursor to any lower left or upper right
       corner of any rectangular box or the center or any point on the
       circumference of any circular box.  Then press button A or B to
       select that box.  The selected box will change color.  If that
       is the box you wish to delete, hit button A; if not, hit
       buttons B or C.  The verb then returns to search mode unless
       there are no more boxes.  Button D always exits immediately
       with no more deletions.
Input only adverbs:
  GRCHAN......Graphics channel to use for the main display of boxes.
              0 -> 3.
  GR2CHAN.....Graphics channel to use for boxes that are about to be
              deleted.  0 -> GRCHAN+4.
  NFIELD......Field number for boxes; < 1 or > 4096 => get from image
              class if possible, otherwise take 1.
  BOXFILE.....Text file to which the boxes are written.  It must
              already exist and have boxes for the specified field.

Note that BOXFILE may also be used to specify field parameters to IMAGR.
