Save profile
------------
Writes $HOME/.wave_pro (including the init_file) so that an xwaves
started with the new profile will reflect the current globals, panels,
and menus.  If $HOME/.wave_pro already exists and $HOME/.wave_pro_save
does not exist, the old $HOME/.wave_pro is moved to
$HOME/.wave_pro_save.

Load profile
------------
Processes $HOME/.wave_pro (and runs the init_file).  This will set 
waves+ globals to the values specified in the .wave_pro, and take 
whatever actions are specified in the init_file (bringing up panels, 
configuring menus, etc.).  

Load system default profile
---------------------------
Processes $ESPS_BASE/lib/waves/.wave_pro (and runs the init_file specified
there). 

Restore profile to system default
---------------------------------
Copies $ESPS_BASE/lib/waves/.wave_pro to $HOME/.wave_pro.  If
$HOME/.wave_pro already exists and $HOME/.wave_pro_save does not
exist, the old $HOME/.wave_pro is moved to $HOME/.wave_pro_save.  

Delete $HOME/.wave_pro_save
---------------------------
Just like it says.  

Display globals
---------------
Puts up a window showing the current values of waves+ globals. 

Display menus
-------------
Puts up a window showing a command file that results in the current 
menu configurations.  

Display add_ops
---------------
Puts up a window showing a command file that results in the current 
add_ops.  

Display panels
--------------
Puts up a window showing a command file that results in the current
panels.  

BUGS/PROBLEMS
-------------

When a saved profile involves panels, they are recreated on startup by
running the waves+ make_panel command that created them originally.
If the menu file that specified the panel no longer exists, that panel
will not appear.  For example, if you select "Record->Sparc codec"
from the play/record panel, you will get another panel with Start/Stop
buttons.  The menu file for this panel is generated on the fly (by
$ESPS_BASE/bin/nvurecord.sh) and then deleted.  It will therefore not
appear if you save and restore.  To see the make_panel commands in
this case, select "Dislay panels..." from the "waves+ profile..."
panel.  

Similarly, if you the paths of the panel menu files are no longer 
valid (e.g., if you change machines), the panel menus won't be found 
and the panels won't appear.  

After saving a profile and restarting, panels may come up in positions
that are slightly different from their original positions.  This is
due to the morass resulting from different window managers and X
server implementations.  Sorry.
