HELP SECTION

GET
Type:  Pseudoverb      (ONLY command on a line)
Use:   GET allows a user to get the contents of AIPS which were
       written on disk by the pseudoverb SAVE.  In doing SAVE
       a name (<= 16 characters) is given by the user to
       identify the core contents.  This must be used with GET,
       but minimum match may be used.  The verb SGINDEX may be
       used to list the names and times of the various SAVE
       areas.  The names may include imbedded special characters
       and blanks, but if they do, they must be typed with
       surrounding quotes (').
Example:
       SAVE APCLN3C123     was used to save the contents of AIPS
       GET APC             will get this AIPS environment (if
                           no other Save area name starts with
                           APC)
       GET 'CNTR 3C123'    Gets the Save area "CNTR 3C123xxxx"
Adverbs:  None

       The GET x command must be the only one on the line.
       Any other commands will be ignored.
