Hi John,I'm sorry for the delay in replying. What has probably happened is
that you have the "mode" parameter set to 'm' or maybe "menu". This
is an interesting though virtually used mode that means first pull up
the parameters with epar and then execute when you exit (no :go is
needed). The usual default setting for the mode parameter is "ql"
for "query" for query parameters and learn the changed values. You
can do an "unlearn" or manually reset the menu parameter. If this is
not the source of the behavior let me know and we'll look for other
explanations. There may be a deeper feature of the cl that allows
this "menu" mode behavior to be set by a variable or at the CL level
but I would have to research it.As for the segmentation violation this is probably a bug in the cl.
Most likely it happens with apall because it has a very long set of
parameters which has caused problems in the past. I can't tell you
more about the segmentation violation beyond that. I can't try and
track this down unless it happens with the current version of IRAF
and it is a roadblock in your reductions.Yours,
