+PARAMETERS

+Demonstration or test procedure name.  Each package may have a different

+DESCRIPTION
+Many packages have demonstration and test procedures.  These are generally
+based on artificial data and use the \fIstty playback\fR (see \fBstty\fR)
+mechanism of the CL.  A playback replaces interactive terminal input 
+with previously stored input but otherwise is an actual execution of
+the entered commands.  This allows both demonstration of various types
+and an actual test of the software on a particular IRAF system.
+
+Generally the \fBdemos\fR procedures create their own data if not present
+from a previous execution.  After the procedure is completed the data,
+logfiles, etc. are left so that they may be examined further and
+the user may try some experiments.  Thus, it might be useful to create
+a new directory for the demo using \fBmkdir\fR and "cd" to it.
+
+Currently, most of the demos are test procedures which do not contain
+comments and suitable delays to act as a demonstration.  These will
+be added in time.  Also some of the demos just create the demo/test
+data if one just wants some relevant data for experimentation with
+the package.
+
+One should be aware that since the tasks are actually run parameters
+are sometimes changed.
+.ih
+EXAMPLES
+1.  From the \fBgoldcam\fR package list the menu and execute the
+qtest demo.
+
+.nf
+	go> mkdir demo
+	go> cd demo
+	go> demos
+		MENU of GOLDCAM Demonstrations
+
+		qtest - Quick test of GOLDCAM (no comments, no delays)
+
+	Demo name (qtest): 
+	<Demo follows>
+.fi
+
+2.  From the \fBnessie\fR package create some simple test data.
+
+.nf
+	ne> demos mkqdata
+	Creating image demoobj ...
+	Creating image demoflat ...
+	Creating image demoarc1 ...
+	Creating image demoarc2 ...
+	ne> demos mkqdata
+	ne>
+.fi
+
+Note that the second execution does not create the data again.

+Introduction
+.PP
+A number of new specialized image reduction packages and new versions
+of the generic echelle and multiobject spectroscopy packages have been
+added to the \fBimred\fR package in IRAF Version 2.10.  The new
+subpackages will be made available as external packages prior to
+the release of V2.10.  The major changes are:
+
+.IP \(bu
+New multifiber reduction packages \fBargus\fR, \fBnessie\fR, and
+\fBkpcoude.fiber\fR.
+.IP \(bu
+New spectrophotmetric slit spectra reduction packages \fBgoldcam\fR,
+\fBspecred\fR, and \fBkpcoude.slit\fR.
+.IP \(bu
+New versions of the \fBmsred\fR and \fBechelle\fR packages based on
+the new versions of \fBapextract\fR and \fBonedspec\fR.
+
+.LP
+In additions there have been some minor changes in the other
+spectroscopy packages required by changes in the \fBonedspec\fR package.
+.PP
+The new packages are specialized to specific instruments or types of
+data.  They contain tasks collected from the various general spectroscopy
+packages which are appropriate for a particular type of data.
+However, the most important contribution of these packages are
+special reduction tasks which are streamlined to perform the complete
+calibration and reduction of the data in as simple and automated
+manner as possible.  The tasks combine operations from both two
+dimensional extraction and one dimensional spectral calibrations
+and collects all the useful parameters in two parameter sets while
+fixing and hiding parameters which are irrelevent.
+.PP
+The new packages are as follows.  The \fBargus\fR package is for the
+flat fielding, throughput correction, extraction, dispersion correction,
+and sky correction of data from the CTIO \fIArgus\fR multifiber instrument.
+The \fBnessie\fR package is similar and is for the KPNO \fINessie\fR
+multifiber plugboard instrument.  The \fBkpcoude.fiber\fR package is
+specialized for the three fiber (two arc and one object) instrument
+at the KPNO Coude.  It is similar to the other multifiber packages
+except there is no sky subtraction.
+.PP
+The other three packages are for sky subtracted extraction,
+dispersion correction, extinction correction, and flux calibration
+of slit instruments.  The packages are for the KPNO \fIGoldcam\fR,
+the KPNO Coude, and for the CTIO \fI2DFRUTTI\fR.  They are all
+fairly general and could be used for other instruments.  They are
+distinguished by choices of default parameters.
+.PP
+There are user's guides for the powerful new reduction tasks in
+the new packages.  These are available both as nicely typeset
+documents and as on-line IRAF manual pages.
+.PP
+Tasks from the revised \fBapextract\fR and \fBonedspec\fR packages
+appear in many of the \fBimred\fR packages.  In particular the
+\fBechelle\fR and \fBmsred\fR packages are now based on this new
+software.
+.PP
+Some minor changes are the replacement of the \fBspecphot\fR package
+by \fBspecred\fR and the renaming and reorganization of the
+\fBcoude\fR package.

+NAME
+tutor -- Present tutorial help on a particular package
+.ih
+USAGE
+tutor topic
+.ih
+PARAMETERS
+.ls topic
+Topic for which help is desired.  If no topic is given then available
+topics are presented.  The topic "all" prints all the topics.
+.le
+.ls package = ""
+Package for which tutorial help is desired.  If null then the tutorial
+for the current package is presented.
+.le
+.ls tutordb = "helpdb"
+The filename of the tutorial database to be searched.  If the \fIvalue\fR of the
+parameter is the reserved string "helpdb", the actual filename is the value
+of the CL environment variable \fIhelpdb\fR.
+.le
+.ih
+DESCRIPTION
+This task provides a tutorial facility for some of the IRAF packages.
+The tutorial consists of a number of topics
+which are obtained by typing "tutor topic" where topic is one of the
+available topics.  If no topic is given then the available topics are
+presented.  The topic "all" presents all the topics.
+
+This task is implemented using the \fBhelp\fR task.  Therefore,
+modifying the \fBhelp\fR parameters dealing with the device and print
+format will also determine the output of \fBtutor\fR.  The tutorial
+topic material is contained in the file Tutorial.hlp for each package.
+The database containing the directory to the tutorial files may or may
+not be the same as the standard help database.
+.ih
+EXAMPLES
+To get started:
+
+	cl> tutor
+
+To get help on reading and writing data tapes:
+
+	cl> tutor dataio
+
+To read all the topics:
+
+	cl> tutor all
+.ih
+BUGS
+Piping the output of \fBtutor\fR to lprint does not work properly because
+\fBhelp\fR is contained in a script.
+.ih
+TUTORIALS
+Tutorials are currently available only for the \fBechelle\fR package.
+This tutorial is in the process of being developed.
