DOPRINT
Type: Adverb  (Logical,  > 0  =>  true)
Use:  True (>0) means print to the terminal (user CRT).
      False (<0) means print to regular output device (usually
      the printer).
      Zero (=0) means to do no printing.
      In most tasks which use this parameter, setting DOPRINT 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.  When printing to a file, DOPRINT=-2 suppresses
      page-feed characters in page headers and DOPRINT=-3 suppresses
      most header information including all page headers.
Null value:  0 => no print

      This adverb is very similar to DOCRT except that it is used for
      tasks in which the printed output is not the main purpose of the
      task and for which it is usually not wanted.

Verbs:
   INP...........Displays adverb values for task, verb, or proc - quick
                 form.  DOPRINT <= -9 kills page-full stops.
   INPUTS........Displays adverb values for task, verb, or proc - to msg
                 file.  DOPRINT <= -9 kills page-full stops.
   TVHELIX.......Verb to activate a helical hue-intensity TV pseudo-
                 coloring.
Tasks:
   CLOSE.........Plots closure phase or amplitude spectra averaged over
                 closures.
   CLPLT.........Plots closure phase and model from CC file.  DOPRINT
                 controls printing to output text file.
   DIFUV.........Difference two matching uv data sets, write out or
                 print statistics.
   IMEAN.........Displays the mean & extrema and plots histogram of an
                 image.    DOPRINT controls printing to output text file
   IMFIT.........Fits Gaussians to portions of an image
   ISPEC.........Plots and prints spectrum of region of a cube
   JMFIT.........Fits Gaussians to portions of an image
   RLDIF.........Determines Right minus Left phase difference, corrects
                 cal files.  DOPRINT controls printing of continuum only
                 matrix (RL .LR) displays.
   RSPEC.........Plots and prints spectrum of rms of a cube
   VHDIF.........Find/apply V minus H linear polarization phase
                 difference.  DOPRINT controls printing of continuum
                 only matrix (VH \ HV) displays.
   XYDIF.........Find/apply X minus Y linear polarization phase
                 difference.  DOPRINT controls printing of continuum
                 only matrix (XY \ YX) displays.
Procedures:
   VLACALIB......Runs CALIB and LISTR for VLA observation.
   VLACLCAL......Runs CLCAL and prints the results with LISTR.
