BUG:	When an aperture identification file is used and the user changes
	the aperture number with the 'i' or 'o' keys the beam number of
	the changed aperture was not changed.  This would cause the beam
	number for these apertures to disagree with the aperture
	identification file.  These keys are used when the initial
	guess as the ordering of multiple apertures, such as with
	multifiber data, is off due to a missing initial fiber.  The
	apertures could be correctly reordered with 'o' except for the
	aperture used as the fiducial.  For the reductions which use
	the beam number to identify the type of data (such as in
	DOFIBERS) this will cause the fiducial aperture to possibly be
	treated incorrectly.  The workaround is to use 'o' twice from
	two different apertures or use 'j' to reset the beam number of
	the fiducial aperture.

STATUS:	The software was modified so that an 'i' or 'o' resets the beam
	number to that specified in the aperture identification file
	for the new aperture number.
