OK. Here is my first stab at a tutorial doc that answers (at least some of) Glenn's
questions and others. Rename who_am_i.dat to who_am_i.zip and find who_am_i.txt inside.I have another in mind that spells out the runtime process of the PAR frontends and one that covers some pp options with examples. As my day job permits... Hopefully others will jump in and help expand this. Alan Stewart
