Hi!

I appear to have killed AIPS by using cntl-C when I intended cntl-S to abort a UVPLT that war running too long, and now AIPS announces: “Cannot start AIPS because there are no defined data areas!” (the session log is pasted below).  I’m not sure what to do about that; I’ve consulted the AIPS Cookbook and the Install Wiz, but don't know the Unix environment well enough to see what to do (or want to screw things up further) – can you provide guidance ?

Thanks!

Bob Gray
