Hi Eric. It's good to see how 'read' works (I've never used that before) 
but the more fundamental problem seems to be that I can't run a runfile 
from within a procedure:

AIPS 1: default 'CLCOR'
AIPS 1: getn i
AIPS 1: stokes 'L'
AIPS 1: opcod 'POLR'
AIPS 1: run 'PPA'
AIPS 1: NOT IN PROC

I decided to write this as a procedure so that I can pass in the 
catalogue number of the epoch that I want to calibrate, as well as its 
reference antenna, on the command line. I don't see a way of exiting the 
procedure in order to read in the fitted values and then to somehow jump 
back in to the procedure to run CLCOR on my epoch.

I suppose I could write a runfile in which the epoch and reference 
antenna were set as parameters. This would then call the calibration 
procedure, read in the values from outside AIPS and then run another 
procedure that ran CLCOR on the right epoch. That might work.
