Example of accessing remote data in FAS

To access MDSplus data from the HIT machine at the University of Washington, before entering FAS:

    on VMS:   $ define mds_host "landau.aa.washington.edu"
              $ define machine hitdata
	      
    on Unix:  % setenv MDS_HOST landau.aa.washington.edu
              % setenv MACHINE hitdata

(This is listed under "General Help" from the FAS Help menu.)

This was tested with shot 26962 and signal \i_p. Note that new users will have to be added to a permissions file (called MDS$ROOT:[SYSMGR]MDSIP.HOSTS on VMS) at UW to access their MDSplus server.
