Public parameter group MDLNODE

Overview

This document contains an overview of the public parameter group MDLNODE, (part of) which is included in several NEWSTAR programs.

The document describes the individual parameters in alphabetical order. This description centers on the Help texts, which have been designed to guide the user to the proper choice at each junction, even if his knowledge of the overall workings of the program is only superficial.

Please note that the generic prompt and help texts defined for these parameters are frequently superseded in the actual applications by alternative texts that are more appropriate to the situation at hand. Unfortunately, the present architecture of NEWSTAR precludes the inclusion of such texts in the documentation system, so the only opportunity to read that information is during program execution (in your terminal window!).
