You would think at least one of these syntax would work. The program "runs" but produces no output; I can use iminsert from the command line with no problem.procedure preparetofft
begin#iminsert (input1 = "zeros.fits", input2 = "test.fits[1:125,1:125]", output = "prepared.fits", option = "replace", coordfile = "starts/lltour.txt")#iminsert "zeros.fits" "test.fits[1:125,1:125]", "prepared.fits", option = "replace", coordfile = "starts/lltour.txt"#iminsert input1 = "zeros.fits", input2 = "test.fits[1:125,1:125]", output = "prepared.fits", option = "replace", coordfile = "starts/lltour.txt"#iminsert zeros.fits, test.fits[1:125,1:125], prepared.fits, option = replace, coordfile = starts/lltour.txt
#iminsert zeros.fits test.fits[1:125,1:125] prepared.fits replace starts/lltour.txtiminsert zeros.fits test.fits[1:125,1:125] prepared.fits replace "starts/lltour.txt"
end

Hi,The syntax looks ok, assuming any incorrect line wraps are due to posting it. How are you executing it, that is you are declaring it as a task and then calling it by name?I have no experience with the task and it may be that it should have more diagnostic output.I'm sorry I can see anything wrong off-hand.Frank Valdes

I think its failing because I am using Text Edit. I'm trying to switch to xemacs but having trouble installing it.
