XPRISM2(FILES)               Khoros                XPRISM2(FILES)

     OVERVIEW

     An Answer File is used to save and restore a graphics
     workspace.  A graphics workspace may be saved by writing out
     an answer file for the current workspace. To restore that
     workspace at a later time, the answer file may be read back
     in.  When an answer file is read in the current workspace is
     erased.  For information on the xprism2 command line argu-
     ments, please consult the Khoros manusl Volume 1, Chapter 3
     or the "Master" form help under the Start_Up button.

     Answer File Input

     A previously saved answer file may be read in by specifing
     the name of the answer file in the "Input Answer File"
     field. Before the new answer file is read in the current
     workspace will be cleared. Reading in an answer file will
     yield the same result as using the "-a filename" argument on
     the command line.

     Answer File Output

     This allows the user to save the current state of the
     workspace. The resulting answer file is a file containing
     all the command line arguments necessay to reconstruct the
     current workspace. The workspace is saved by entering a
     filename in the "Ouput Answer file" field.

     Restrictions

     As of current there is no way to save the changes made to a
     workspace when the "plot bands" or the "plot transforms"
     options have been used. The plot transforms option actually
     changes the data internal to xprism2. The plot bands option
     actually reorganizes the data internal to xprism2. Thus, if
     a workspace is saved after making such changes and restored,
     the result will be the original data is displayed (not
     transformed).
