Help for IBIS2ASC

PURPOSE
   The user can choose which columns to write to the ascii file and the starting
   record and number of records.  The columns are separated by blanks by default
   but the user can choose another separator such as comma.

   The quote keyword causes strings to be enclosed in double quotes.

   The program will write a blank for any value within .1% of the penupval.
   This provides for passing penup commands to the plot package.
CALL

     SR           is the starting record to print
