Processing lists of data

Perhaps the most noticeable `feature' of CCDPACK programs is their ability to accept, and process, lists of data files and other associated parameters, such as exposure times and position list names (see ``using position lists''). A list of `names' can be supplied in response to one prompt, or can be supplied on successive lines using the continuation character `-' to force a reprompt for more specifications. A list of names consists of a series of character strings separated by commas. Note that the list itself is really a string not a vector and should be enclosed in quotes "". The quotes are not necessary if the list consists of only one name, or if given in response to a prompt. When using the C-shell it is necessary to protect the "" so that the final string passed to the application still contains these (so a suitable response would be '"ndf1,ndf2"').
