| print to a specific path/filename [c] | file | path | 256 chars maximum | |||
| Notes: a. default filenames can be overridden with the file path option b. If the ouput device is a pen plotter then a frames line may be needed. c. Overrides the default extension. Should be used as the final option on the PLOTX command line as the filename may contain embedded white space as well as directory/file-system indicators. | ||||||

| frames[a] | 1- | frame sequence numbers to be displayed | |
| Notes: a. Frame numbers start at 1 and must be entered in increasing order. For example, the first contour map output by CONTRS will be frame 1 and so on. If the frames line is not entered all frames will be displayed. If a frames line is entered only the specified frames will be displayed. | |||
