     ----cccc   Preview data files from the in the next argument speci-
	  fied cell name.  In this case no pgfile is read.

     For _p_g_v_i_e_w (GKS-version) one of the following options can be
     specified:

     ----gggg   The name of a graphics terminal.  The following graph-
	  ics terminals are supported:
	  apollo_15_color, hp2397, hp98700, hpgp, rast10.

     ----dddd   The pathname of the graphics device.	Normally only
	  used in combination with the 'hpgp' graphics device.

	  If no options are used the environment variable TERM is
	  used to obtain the name of the graphics terminal.

     For _X_p_g_v_i_e_w (X Window System version) the following option
     can be specified:

     ----AAAA   Use different graphics context for text (needed for
	  Apollo workstations to see text).

     ----hhhh   The display to be used by _X_p_g_v_i_e_w.  The display must be
	  identified by a hostname together with a display
	  number, and optionally a screen number.

	  If this option is not used the environment variable
	  DISPLAY is used to identify the display.

     ====ggggeeeeoooo To specify the window geometry <width>x<height>{+-
	  }<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>.  For example =+0 to get a
	  default window at xoffset 0, or =2000x2000+0 to get a
	  very big window.

     _P_g_v_i_e_w pre-views the pattern generator file made by the
     _f_t_a_p_e program.  Default name for this file is "PGFILE".

     If you specify a cell name _p_g_v_i_e_w interacts with the ICD /
     NELSIS database for retrieval of the "_pgt" data files (and
     other).  In that case the project directory must be chosen
     as the current working directory.

     _P_g_v_i_e_w is menu driven (like: _d_a_l_i), with the commands to be
     used appearing on the left side of the screen.  The commands
     are selected by moving the cursor (using the mouse) into the
     command area on the screen and pressing the mouse button.

     The menu commands are:

     qqqquuuuiiiitttt	 Exit the program, when 'yes' is specified.

     rrrreeeeaaaaddddffffiiiilllleeee	 Read and display the specified jobnr (pgfile
		 mode) or mask data file (cell mode) and display
		 it in the specified color.

     wwww____cccceeeennnntttteeeerrrr	 Use next point as center of current window.

     wwww____rrrreeeecccctttt	 Zoom out to recticle (pgfile mode) or bbox (cell
		 mode) window.

     wwww____pppprrrreeeevvvv	 Zoom in/out to previous window.

     zzzzoooooooommmm	 Zoom in to specified area.

     ddddeeeezzzzoooooooommmm	 Zoom out to specified area.

     ccccoooooooorrrrdddd____pppptttt	 Ask co-ordinates of certain point.

     ttttggggllll____ggggrrrriiiidddd	 Put on/off the grid.

     sssseeeetttt____ggggrrrriiiidddd	 Set grid spacing to specified value.  If 'fixed'
		 field is 'on' value is not more automatically
		 changed.

     wwwwiiiinnnnddddoooowwww	 Ask window co-ordinates.

     sssswwww____ssssoooolllliiiidddd	 Switch from 'hollow' (default) to 'solid'
		 display mode for specified color.

     vvvviiiissssiiiibbbblllleeee	 Switch from 'visible' (default) to 'non-visible'
		 display mode for specified color.

     sssseeeetttt____uuuunnnniiiitttt	 Set co-ordinate unit to the specified value.

     sssseeeetttt____ccccoooooooorrrr	 Set cursor to specified co-ordinate point.  When
		 you choice 'zoom' after 'set_coor' is 'on', a
		 zoom to this area is done.

     Messages from the program to the user will be displayed in a
     window at the top of the screen.
