To get help on any item listed above, when running PHOTON, type the
item name followed by a question mark, e.g. 'CONTOUR OFF ?'. Items
marked with an asterisk (*) give help on selected topics,
and are not PHOTON commands, while items marked (R) refer
to subcommands of the REPLAY command. Commands marked (U)
may only be issued from a USE file.

In help entries, command names are shown thus :-
   CON[tour] ON <element number>
where the minimum abbreviation for the command is shown in
capitals, with the rest of the command in square brackets.
Any abbreviation of the full name down to the minimum will
be accepted. Parameters are shown in angle brackets; the
program will prompt for essential parameters if they are
not given on the command line.
