SAVE and LOAD

As noted above, when you exit miriad, all your inputs will be saved in the keyword file lastexit. However, you can save and reload your current parameters at any time. The command save writes the current parameter values to a keyword file (taskname.def if the task taskname has been selected) or to a user-specified file. The parameter settings in this keyword file (or a user-specified file) can be retrieved using the command load. Note that save writes out all parameter values, not just those for the specific task chosen. Example:

   histo% save
   histo% save histo1.pars

In the first case the parameters are saved in a file histo.def, in the second case they are saved in a user-specified file histo1.pars.
