HELP SECTION

RFARS
Type: Task

      Takes the input Q and U cubes to the proedure DOFARS or the task
      FARS itself and corrects them for the peak rotation measure
      found by FARS and imaged by AFARS.  The Q and U images may be in
      either the RA-Dec-Freq or Freq-RA-Dec transpositions but the two
      must be in the same transposition.  The output images will
      retain the input transposition.  Pixels blanked in any one or
      more of the input images will be blanked in the output images.
      The images are assumed to be aligned correctly.

Adverbs:
  INNAME......First image name. Q-polarization.  Standard defaults.
  INCLASS.....First image class.    Standard defaults.
  INSEQ.......First image seq. #.   0 => highest.
  INDISK......Disk drive # for the first image.  0 => any.
  IN2NAME.....Second image name. U-polarization. Standard defaults.
  IN2CLASS....Second image class.   Standard defaults.
  IN2SEQ......Second image seq. #.  0 => highest.
  IN2DISK.....Disk drive # for the second image.  0 => any.
  IN3NAME.....Third image name. RM image. Standard defaults.
  IN3CLASS....Third image class.   Standard defaults.
  IN3SEQ......Third image seq. #.  0 => highest.
  IN3DISK.....Disk drive # for the third image.  0 => any.
  OUTNAME.....Output image name.  Q corrected.  Standard defaults.
  OUTCLASS....Output image class.   Default 'RFARSQ'
  OUTSEQ......Output image seq. #.  0 => highest unique.
  OUTDISK.....Output disk number. 0 => highest with space.
  OUT2NAME....Output image name. Imaginary part. Standard defaults.
  OUT2CLAS....Output image class.   Default 'RFARSQ'
  OUT2SEQ.....Output image seq. #.  0 => highest unique.
  OUT2DISK....Output disk number. 0 => highest with space.
  BLC.........Bottom left corner of the 1st and 2nd input images.  The
              BLC and TRC for the third image will be adjusted to be
              the RA and Dec corners.
  TRC.........Top right corner of input images.
