New data files are created, existing data files are opened, the state of
DISH is saved, a previously saved state is restored, and DISH is reset to
its default initial state through the
File menu. The GUI panels for each available operation are enabled
and dismissed through the Operations menu. The Options menu
has two options which can be turned on or off. The ``Write to Script'' option,
when turned on, causes DISH to echo the
underlying glish commands to the AIPS++ defaultscripter (ds) tool when a GUI
operation occurs in DISH. This can be a way to learn more about what
DISH is doing behind the scenes and write glish scripts to do operations
not yet available in DISH. When the ``Save when done'' option is turned on,
the state of DISH is saved to the current state file when the
``done'' function is invoked (e.g. dish.done()). The ``done''
function is always invoked whenever you exit glish. Because DISH can
not be restarted after ``done'' has been called it is best not to
do that unless you are about to exit glish. This deficiency will be
corrected in the next release.
