speech signal process tools

  outputname
       default pathname to appear at "OUTPUTfile" prompt

  overlayname
       pathname to file which can be overlaid on a
       signal (Note that setting a default inputname does not cause
       waves+ to read in the file).

  play_prog
       The name of the D/A play program to use when the
       DSP32 board is not present or disabled (use_dsp32 == 0).

  readout_bar_height
       height in pixels of the readout bar (X Windows only)

  ref_size
       initial size of the display buffer (seconds)

  ref_start
       default starting time for file display (sec)

  ref_step
       page step size for "page ahead/back" (seconds)

  remote_path
       This string is prepended to to file names when
       ESPS external commands are run 

  scrollbar_height
       height of the scrollbar in new windows (pixels)

  scroll_ganged
       1 to scroll all signals in object, 0 for just
       one (see also zoom_ganged)

  sgram_prog
       The name of the spectrogram program to use when
       the DSP32 board is not present or disabled.  

  show_labels
       if 1 (default), display FEA field names on every parameter track

  show_vals
       if 1 (default), display numerical values on every parameter track 
       as cursor moves

  temp_path
       directory in which waves+ will write temporary files 

  use_dsp32
       1 to use dsp board, 0 to ignore dsp board; this
       is normally set by waves+ on startup 

  verbose
       Values > 0 cause various feedback messages to be printed

  wave_height
       height of new waveform windows

  wave_width
       width of new waveform windows

  wb_spect_params
       file with parameters for "wideband" spectrograms
       (see also nb_spect_params)

  write_common
       If 1, write ESPS Common each time markers are set

  x_increment
       horizontal displacement between successive windows

  y_increment
       vertical displacement between successive windows

  zoom_ratio
       fractional change caused by "zoom" operations

  zoom_ganged
       1 to zoom all signals in object, 0 for just one
       (see also scroll_ganged)

WAVES+ COMMANDS
===============

Waves+ commands may be executed by entering them manually in the 
control panel, or by running a command file containing a sequence of 
commands.  The available commands are listed below.  The command name 
is shown on the left followed by a short description enclosed in ">>" 
and "<<" brackets.  Most commands have one or more optional 
attribute-value pairs that follow the command name.  The available
attributes are listed, one-per-line, right after the command.  For
explanations, see the man page.  The following should be used as 
reminders about the commands, not as a means for learning them.
