How to start IRAF

- some hints for IRAF
- iraf uses the texteditor vi to edit parameters; use :wq to save and exit the editor
- you can use normal linux commands if you use ! in front of your command
- remember to open ds9, an astronomical imaging program, for the display commands to work
IMPORTANT: iraf has a wrong image size setting, do not forget to type in: reset stdimage=imt4096
- enjoy!
