NOTES

  1. Explanation Of Modes
            
            ME         Lists the mode menu. 
            STA        Gives the current status of 'MD' options. 
            TR ON      Write trace to the terminal in batch runs 
                           (DO-loop index, and procedure calls). 
            TR OFF     (Default)  No messages written. 
            OP ON      Show operation. 
            OP OFF     Show operation off. 
            VB ON      Verbose on.  Normal listings to terminal and 
                            results file. 
            VB OFF     Verbose off.  Shortened listing to results file. 
                            Useful for complicated batch runs. 
            MOSAIC ON  Use WWW browser to give help.  The documents 
    		       are all hyperlinked for easy use. 
            MOSAIC OFF Turn off use of WWW browser for help. 
            INLN BUFF  Toggles use of inlined buffers ON/OFF (default is 
                            ON)  On VMS sets the size of each buffer.  
                            On Unix, the size is determined based upon   
                            need at runtime. 
            SET MP     Sets maximum number of processors used. 
            SET MEM    Resets maximum Mega-bytes of allocatable memory. 
                            This is initially set to a default value  or 
                            the value given in the Unix environmental 
                            variable 'SP_MEMALLOC' 
    

  2. The mode commands 'STA' and 'ME' leave the user in MODE. A carriage return will bring the system back into operation input status.

  3. The mode command 'INLN BUFF' toggles the availability of inline files (saved in memory not on disk). If this toggle is ON (the default) filenames which begin with "_" or "___" followed by one digit are interpreted as inline files. The user can write to (read from) the inline files as if writing to (reading from) a disk file.
