HELP SECTION

SAVE
Type:  Pseudoverb   (only command on the line)
Use:   SAVE allows a user to store permanently the current
       contents of AIPS to be gotten at a later time.  SAVE will
       store on disk all procedures as well as the current
       value of all variables.  Up to 99 different copies of
       AIPS may be saved by each user.  Each copy has a user-
       chosen name of up to 16 characters.  The name must
       begin with a letter, but may contain special characters
       and imbedded blanks if you type the name surrounded by
       single quotes (').  In order to replace an existing
       save area, you must type the name exactly.  The file
       may be recovered with the pseudoverb GET.  The verb
       SGINDEX lists the current save areas and times and the
       verbs SGDESTR and SAVDEST may be used to destroy save
       files individually or en masse, resp.
Example:  SAVE APCLN3C123
          SAVE 'MAP CASA'
Adverbs:  None

       The input line may contain other statements besides the
       SAVE x command.  However, since the SAVE is a pseudoverb,
       it will be executed before any of the normal verbs on the
       command line.
