Syntax:     
            BATCH/LYMAN [spectrum] [config] [outtab] [outlog] [graph]
 \\
\ys\pa
            spectrum =  Table containing input spectrum \\
                        Columns :WAVE, :NORMFLUX, :STDEV and :FWHM must exist\\
 \\ 
\ap\pa
            config   = Name of input tables for minimization procedure\\
                       Their format must be equal to that of the "log" tables\\
                       generated by FIT/LYMAN. 
  \\ 
\ap\pa
            outtab   = Tables with the results of the the fits\\

  \\ 
\ap\pa
            outlog   = Name of output "log" tables  \\
  \\ 
\ap\pa
            graph    = (Y/N Default is N) On-line plot of the fitted profiles

Note:       
            1) This command is mainly designed to re-fit  a spectrum already
               processed with FIT/LYMAN, since the "config" tables have the 
	       same format as the  "log" tables produced by FIT/LYMAN .

Examples:
\ex
            BATCH/LYMAN  spectrum log1 lines  log2 Y 
            "spectrum" is fitted using  the input parameters defined in the 
	    tables "log1LYPAR", "log1LYMIN" and "log1LYLIM".
            The resulting line list is stored in the table "lines", and the 
	    log of the operations is saved in the tables "log2LYPAR", 
            "log2LYMIN" and "log2LYLIM".
