Postscript file available

catalog program details - user



Description
These variables determine some customised catalog program features. They should normally reside in the user's .aipsrc.


Example
catalog.default:          screen
catalog.edit.ascii:       xterm -e vi

Note that Glish has no tty available, so an editor like vi cannot be used directly. An xterm command is also needed as shown in the example above.
