Parameters Help Subtopic

All commands which require user defined input have a Parameters subtopic as a part of the ASTHELP on the command. This informs the user of the various properties of each parameter. Along with a description of what the parameter is for, the KEYWORD, and command line POSITION are given as is the FORTRAN data type of the expected response (eg REAL, INTEGER, CHARACTER, etc...) as a guide to the type of input required from the user.

Some parameters have been given 'hidden defaults' which will be picked up automatically by the parameter system, without prompting the user for confirmation. The value of these hidden defaults is also given in the parameters help subtopic.
