Running PAW PAW can be run interactively, but this is recommended only for people who enjoy generating large core dumps on their UNIX boxes with every typographical error. Otherwise, start PAW from a directory in one window of a workstation, while a second window is used to edit input files in the same directory. There are 3 reasonably simple ways of representing data sets in PAW - functions, vectors, and histograms.
Histograms are most convenient for large data sets in regularly spaced bins.
Even though the aw options are standard, it is necessary to specify them explicitly on each graph when several graphs are drawn on the same page. PAW will have trouble moving on without them. Also, specifying the 'c' option by itself results in no graph - write something like 'acw' to get 'c'. PAW will fill the graphs starting at the upper left hand corner and proceeding across the rows. This sets the type of line drawn on line graphs.
