        setenv PATH ${PATH}:/astro/sao/saord/bin  (tcsh syntax)


Define the location of IRAF and your IRAF parameter files

A wealth of on-line help is provided covering ASSIST, SAOtng and IRAF.

SAOtng can be started either from the ASSIST interface or directly from the command
line by typing

	saotng

NOTE: SAOtng requires a LOT of memory, if you try to run it with less than 
      16Mb you are unlikely to get very far.
