10.2.6 NEW_DPATH

   

NEW_DPATH will add elements to the Yohkoh data paths array. These are the disk areas automatically searched for reformatted files. A file option allows reading from a file of pathnames. This can be conveniently called from an a personal IDL startup file to automatically define paths when entering IDL. Switches are available to add current directory, initialize contents, remove elements, or save current contents for later input via file option.
