[evla-sw-discuss] Headers of EVLA Scripts Produced by SSS Software

[Bryan Butler]

as barry says, programName is used internally, in printers.py (and, 
specifically, in myPrint(...).  if it's not specified in the script, it 
gets set to 'Unknown'.

it was useful back in the days of obs2script to distinguish in the 
executor logs between statements printed by the script itself, and those 
printed by the executor.  i think it's still useful, though i do much 
less executor log parsing than i was doing back in the day...

you should set programName to the same thing you set the program to in 
the comments - OST, OPT, m2sStable, or m2sTest.
