[daip] filebox

[Craig Walker]

There is something goofy in the documentation that comes out of on the
screen for FILEBOX.  The option to press B to start a new box is
not documented on the screen until you do it once, then it is documented
in a bit of a deceptive manner.  Here is an example.

>filebox
AIPS 1: ZTXOP2: using translated file name =
AIPS 1: ZTXOP2: /home/eolus/cwalker/SS433/EPOCH1.BOX2
AIPS 1:    8 boxes to be reset - some may not be visible
AIPS 1: *************  Move cursor to corner to be reset
AIPS 1: then push button A or B to do resetting
AIPS 1: or push C to go to next box *************
AIPS 1: As always, push button D to exit

Move cursor to corner and press A

AIPS 1: Reset B.L.C. of box  5

Move cursor to set lower left corner and press A

AIPS 1: Reset T.R.C.

Move cursor to set upper left corner of box and press C

AIPS 1: *************  Move cursor to corner to be reset
AIPS 1: then push button A or B to do resetting
AIPS 1: or push C to go to next box *************
AIPS 1: As always, push button D to exit

Move cursor to desired corner and press A

AIPS 1: Reset B.L.C. of box  6

Move cursor to new corner position and press A

AIPS 1: Reset T.R.C.


Now my complaint is that, at this point, there has been no 
instruction that tells how to start a new box.  In fact that
is done by pressing B.

Move cursor to set new corner position and press B

AIPS 1: Setting box number  9
AIPS 1: Set B.L.C. : button A or B to change to T.R.C.
AIPS 1: Button C to switch between circle and box, D to kill and exit

Now setting a new box.  Move to desired location and press A.

AIPS 1: Set T.R.C. : button A to repeat B.L.C.
AIPS 1: Button B for next box, button C for previous box, D to exit

Now setting trc of the new box.  Note that the second line of the
instruction that has now appeared.  That wasn't there before I first
made a new box with the undocumented B press.  Plus the line is a
touch misleading because B gets you a new box (even if you weren't
on the last box before) and C allows you to choose a corner of an
old box.

Now how do I delete a box?
