HELP SECTION
DOCRT
Type: Adverb (Logical, > 0 => true)
Use: True (1) means print to the terminal (user CRT).
False (-1) means print to regular output device (usually
the printer).
In most tasks which use this parameter, setting DOCRT to true
makes the task "interactive." This means that the task will not
resume AIPS until it has finished its print portions. It also
means that it will ask the user if he wishes to continue every
time the CRT screen has been filled. To terminate the printing
(and perhaps the task), enter "Q" or "q" in response to this
question. Of course, there are exceptions: IMFIT and JMFIT use
solely the message file if DOCRT is true.
DOCRT = -1 means to use the line printer or a text file if
OUTPRINT is not blank. In the latter case, DOCRT=-2 suppresses
page-feed characters in page headers and DOCRT=-3 suppresses
most header information including all page headers.
Null value: task dependent - 0 may mean no print or may mean to use
the line printer
