START/PIPELINE  display_flag
	start the VLT instrument pipeline 
\us\pu
Purpose:    
          Start the VLT instrument pipeline with or without display (graphics)
          capabilities, currently such a Midas based pipeline exists for the 
          following VLT instruments:
          FORS1, FOPRS2, UVES
\up\sy
Syntax:   
          START/PIPELINE  display_flag
\ys\pa
          display_flag = Display/NoDisplay to start the pipeline with/without
                 display (graphics) capabilities.
\ap\no
Note:   
          OJO: since the pipelines create a lot of new commands, the number 
          of commands and qualifiers is increased significantly when starting
          the pipeline.
          As a consequence, all installed contexts (except RBS) and
          also all user commands created so far will be removed!
          Thus, it would be a good idea to set the context RBS and execute
          START/PIPELINE in the very beginning of your Midas session before
          creating any commands (e.g. put the RBS context stuff into the 
          beginning of your login.prg).

Examples:

            keywords) and enable image display and graphics.
