HELP SECTION

HINOTE
Type: Verb
Use:  HINOTE allows the user to add lines of text to the history
      file of an image or uv data set.  One or more lines which
      partly optionally begin with 'HINOTE  ' followed by
      user-provided text will be added to the history file.  If
      COMMENT and INTEXT are blank and the user is running
      interactively, then the user will be prompted to add as
      many lines as desired.  The addition ends when the user
      enters either _END or _end.  If COMMENT is blank and
      INTEXT is not, then INTEXT is appended to the history
      file.  Only the first 64 (or 72 if DOHIST <= 0) characters
      in each line and the first 20000 lines of INTEXT will be
      used.  Note that this verb will create a history file if
      necessary, so it may be used to fix up missing history
      files should they occur.
Adverbs:
  INNAME......Image name(name).   Standard defaults.
  INCLASS.....Image name(class).  Standard defaults.
  INSEQ.......Image name(seq. #).  0 => highest.
  INDISK......Disk drive # of image.  0 => any.
  DOHIST......For reading text files only: > 0 => each line has
              the string "HINOTE  " prepended before it is added
              to the history file.  <= 0 => the lines from the
              text file are directly copied.  This string is
              always prepended for COMMENT or prompted notes.
  COMMENT.....64-character line to add to the history file.  If
              COMMENT = INTEXT = ' ' and the AIPS is interactive, the
              user will be prompted to enter as many lines of text as
              desired (with the prompt character @).  A line
              containing the characters "_END" or "_end" (without the
              quotes) terminates the input.
  INTEXT......If COMMENT = ' ' and INTEXT is not blank, INTEXT
              specifies a text file to be appended to the history.
              Only the first 64 (72 if DOHIST <= 0) characters of each
              line and only the first 20000 lines of INTEXT are used.
