REDUCE/ECHELLE input output [bkcor]
	reduction of echelle spectra.
\us\pu
Purpose:    
            Object reduction of echelle data.
            There are two available methods (parameter REDUCTION):
            STANDARD consists of the following steps
\\
                     . Background correction
\\
                     . Flat field correction (optional, depending on FFOPT)
\\
                     . Order extraction
\\
                     . Calibration in wavelengths
\\
                     . Response correction (optional, depending on RESPOPT)
\\
                     . Order merging
\\
            The parameters involved in this command are displayed by
            SHOW/ECHELLE. Before using the command, the following sections
            must be checked:

                  2. Background
                  4. Extraction
                  7. Rebin
                  8. Flat field correction
                  9. Response correction
                 10. Merging
