TUGET: Verb-like gets adverbs from last GO of a user's task

INPUTS

USERID            1.0              Desired user number
TASK                               Task name
                                   Version of task & INPUTS file
VERSION
          Task name may be inserted as an immediate argument
          i.e TGET task or TGET 'task'.  The adverb is then
          ignored.  The adverb TASK is set by TGET to the full
          task name on output.  This eliminates the need to
          type the task name on subsequent INP, INPUTS, and GO
          operations so long as you want this particular task.

HELP SECTION

TUGET
Type:  Pseudoverb   (but acts almost like a normal verb)
Use:   Each time a task is caused to execute (via the verb GO), the
       adverb values sent to the task are saved in a special task
       parameter file.  Only one set of values is stored for any given
       task, but an unlimited number of tasks may have their values
       stored.  The file belongs to the user (by login number) and may
       be used with any of the interactive AIPS.  Batch AIPS programs
       use their own task parameter files.  TUGET is the special verb
       which allows the user to recover the adverb values from the
       most recent execution of a task by another user.  The format is:

                  USERID = xxxx
                  TUGET   name

       where  is the task name (min match applies, but to all
       tasks and verbs, not just those in the TGET file).  If 
       is omitted, the current contents of the adverb TASK are used.
Adverbs:
  USERID.......The user number under which the desired adverbs were
               stored.  0 -> current user number
  TASK.........Desired task name.  Used only if no immediate argument
               is given.  The full Task name is inserted in TASK on
               output, whether or not an immediate argument was used.
               This allows one to avoid retyping the task name on
               subsequent INP, INPUTS, GO, and ABORT operations for
               that task.
  VERSION......The version of the Inputs file used to decipher the
               stored parameters.  Should be the same as that used
               when storing.  A warning is issued if it is not.
               See HELP VERSION for details.
