SAVE

    SAVE [commandToSave]
    SAVE ALL [CORRECTIONS]
    SAVE SET [CORRECTIONS]
    SAVE SWITCHING

    Save parameters and options of a command in the form of a valid .pako
    script.

    Character :: commandToSave     ! command to save

    If commandToSave is not specified, the last selected observing mode is
    saved.

    SAVE ALL saves (nearly) all current setup parameters, as well as the
    current switching and observing modes, to file all.pako, or to a
    different file specified with /FILE.

    NOTE: SAVE ALL and SAVE SET save the pointing and focus corrections
    only if they are used in the form
    SAVE ALL C[ORRECTIONS]
    SAVE SET C[ORRECTIONS]

    (Normally SAVE ALL and SAVE SET are meant to generate paKo scripts
    that can be used to re-produce the setup at a later time, when one
    probably wants to use different corrections. On the other hand the
    idiomatic usage: SAVE ALL C /FILE LAST allows to save "really
    everything" in order to recover it with @ LAST)

    SAVE SWITCHING saves the currently selected switching mode (total
    power, beam, frequency, wobbler), to file switching.pako, or to a
    different file specified with /FILE.

    NOTE: the parameters of "unused" (unselected) hardware, switching
    modes, and observing modes are never saved.
