New Staff Reply: running SCRIPS in AIPS

It is not possible to use the RUN command with other commands
on the same input line.  This is because the parser detects
the RUN command and immediately opens the input text file
and reads in the first 2 lines of that file, wiping out the
initial input line before it could even be compiled.  However,
I have seen a way to implement nested RUN files (up to 20 deep!)
and have released that in the 31DEC13 version of AIPS.  A 
Midnight Job or installation on this version on July 11 or later
will get this new code.

You then need to construct a run file that says

$ first line is a comment and is ignored
version = 'your_area'
run NG_448
run NG_449

etc
