RESTORE/OPTOPUS table

Purpose:      
              Restore parameters used in old run of Optopus package
	      by reading them from descriptors of table they had been 
	      saved into by SAVE/OPTOPUS command.
	      The parameters are then written in keywords initialized
	      in Optopus context.

Syntax:       
              RESTORE/OPTOPUS table
\ys\pa
	      table =  name of table previously used to save Optopus
		       parameters with SAVE/OPTOPUS command.
\ap\no
Note:         
              This command may be useful whenever you want to resume an
	      old Optopus session, on a particular plate, without starting 
	      from the beginning, that is from the CREATE/OPTOPUS command.
              Let's suppose, for example you already have all the
	      files, and just want to plot the positions of the holes on
	      a starplate, without having to initialize the parameters
	      all over again. In this case it's enough to give the
	      command RESTORE/OPTOPUS table (if you were careful enough to 
	      use SAVE/OPTOPUS table in the end of the old Optopus session, 
	      of course), and then PLOT/OPTOPUS myXYtable.
