Reference pointing works - it just works slightly differently than on the
Modcomps.  I've not seen the collimation script, so I don't know whether 
kenpointbase will like it or not.  To do collimation, the reference, XBand,
observation should be in mode 'IR'.  Subsequent observations should be in
mode "IA', and have a 'T', 'S', or 'R' in the 'apply' column.  (I believe
the same script would work on the Modcomps, but that it isn't written that 
way now.)
