                                STARTING EXSAS

=========================================================================

          Add to your .login ( C-Shell ) the line:

               source /soft/astro/midas/exsas/98APR_EXT/EXSAS.csh

          or at your .profile ( Burn Shell ) the line:
          
               . /soft/astro/midas/exsas/98APR_EXT/EXSAS.sh

          In order to start EXSAS, start MIDAS first:

               % inmidas

          When you get the MIDAS prompt set the EXSAS context:

                  Midas 001> SET/CONTEXT EXSAS

          A preferable alternative to that is to initiate automatically
          EXSAS every time you start MIDAS. If you want this to be true
          place the line SET/CONTEXT EXSAS at the top of login.prg in 
          your MIDWORK directory. Don't put the SET/CONTEXT line at the
          end of the login.prg files, because this would destroy all
          the commands defined beforehand (this happens because EXSAS
          need to expand the MIDAS command buffer).

          The Postscript Manuals is available at room 307
