Richard,

Super, thanks!

The professor will need to become familar with:

DSSERVE - create an ADDE dataset
DSINFO  - list out information about an ADDE dataset
DATALOC - point at a named sever for access to an ADDE dataset
IMGLIST - list out information for images in an ADDE dataset
IMGDISP - display images from an ADDE dataset
LB      - define a loop from consecutive frames
LS      - define a loop from random frames
DR      - define the dwell rates for frames in a loop
TERM    - control program:  TERM L ON  -> turn looping on
                            TERM L OFF -> turn looping off
EU      - restore, save, create image enhancements

That's a start anyway.  The Learning Guide is the place to go to
learn about all of these commands in a hurry.

Cheers,

Tom
