Interactively query the mido data in the *.info file of a FITS image.

midoq.sh
 An OTW tool for querying the *.info file associated with a FITS image. 
Such file sets are commonly gathered with a code like "ds9_imstats". 

This is just for interactive use, but the code can serve as a simple 
template for how to build more complicated OTW codes for processing 
these mido (Measure IDentified Object) records. The basic routines fpr 
handling these records are in SCOLIB.infosubs (the otw gfortran library 
maintained by SCO). 

 Notice that this is eally just an easy way to remind the user (SCO) 
of the contents of a mido record. The keyword (kword) can be used inside 
an OTW code to retieve a specfici value (value) using calls like:
       call get_valu('Xaper   ',kword,xval,xaper)
       call get_valu('Yaper   ',kword,xval,yaper)
       call get_valu('Nap     ',kword,xval,xnap)
Notice also that I also return the full text string contents of the value 
fortion of the FITS header card. If the "value" portion is not treated with 
full precision in "get_valu", the coder can always kluge soemthing to properly 
interpret b20(icard).
