bpmedit is missing from the image.tv package menu.The good news is that there may not be many (if any) of these omissions left in IRAF proper. These menus are rather accurate considering they aren't generated on the fly.Jason

Here are some more quick help fixes.*In the language package, the [b:58d440b5dc]whereis[/b:58d440b5dc] help is not setup correctly. The tasks [b:58d440b5dc]which[/b:58d440b5dc] and [b:58d440b5dc]whereis[/b:58d440b5dc] share a help file.
[code:1:58d440b5dc]
language> help whereis
Cannot find help block for `whereis' in `pkg$language/doc/which.hlp'
language>
[/code:1:58d440b5dc]*Also in language, the tasks [b:58d440b5dc]imaccess[/b:58d440b5dc], [b:58d440b5dc]defvar[/b:58d440b5dc], and [b:58d440b5dc]onerror[/b:58d440b5dc] are missing help files and are also missing from the package's "help" list.*In noao.nobsolete, the "See Also" section for [b:58d440b5dc]badpiximage[/b:58d440b5dc] says to see "text2image" when I think it's supposed to be the [b:58d440b5dc]text2mask[/b:58d440b5dc] task in the proto package. The help for badpiximage should probably explicitly state "This task was made obsolete by...".Cheers,
Jason

Hi Jason,Thanks, these are fixed for the next release. The onerror function was never fully implemented and so I left it undocumented until/unless I ever get back to finishing it.-Mike

    Hi Jason,Thanks. Except for the FORMATS section I've made all the changes. FORMATS is used in a number of places beyond just these tasks so I've put it on the list for later when I have time to review all the tasks.-Mike

    *After you splot a spectra and use the function mode 'f', the menu shown in the graphics window ends with
    [code:1:67a2b630f5]p=+k m=*k +,-,*,/=2spec ops[/code:1:67a2b630f5]
    I would recommend it be changed to
    [code:1:67a2b630f5]p+=k m*=k +,-,*,/=spec2 ops[/code:1:67a2b630f5]
    because spec2 is the actual second spectrum name used by the task and help file and the "+="-style syntax is more standard (and used by IRAF).Some [b:67a2b630f5]splot[/b:67a2b630f5] help fixes:*The task help lists "wcreset" as one of the "options" but it the rest of the documentation uses "wreset".*In the epar description for wavelength, there is a colon (Dispersion coordinateSmile that shouldn't be there.*In the splot help, the options parameter has [b:67a2b630f5]The "overplot" options overplots[/b:67a2b630f5] but should be [b:67a2b630f5]The "overplot" option overplots[/b:67a2b630f5].*For the description of the mag parameter, the description should start on the next line to match the other parameters. The last sentence ends strangely ("is in" probably should just be "in") . Plus it needs a period.*The DESCRIPTION section's 2nd word, "option" , is used to describe the "options" parameter. Later in this same sentence there is a double a ("a a").*In the 5th paragraph of the DESCRIPTION section, "replace then in the new output image"..... I think should be "replace them in the new output image". (This sentence really could use a comma too after "saved".)*In the DESCRIPTION section's discussion of the keystrokes, the 'a' (expand) section has "See also 'w', and 'z'.", which has an unwanted comma.*In the 'f' (function mode) section, uncapitalize function in "q Quit Function mode".*In the "g Get another spectrum." section, the last two words, "is necessary" probably should be "as necessary".*In the 't' section (ICFIT) the '-' description formating is offset wrt the other descriptions.*For the ',' command (Shift the graph window to the left), it should not have apostrophes around the comma, cf with the '.' command just below.*In the EXAMPLES section, there is a "Therefore it these examples..." that should be "Therefore these examples...".JasonPS I've been using splot a lot recently and it occurred to me that it'd be good if IRAF had a default spectrum similar to dev$pix that could be used to help report problems with 1D tasks.
