OPN/CLS(OPCS)		Optical Printer Control System		OPN/CLS(OPCS)

    NAME
        opn  - open the fader shutter
	cls  - close the fader shutter

    EXAMPLES
       opn		# open the fader
       cls		# close the fader

    DESCRIPTION
       opn and cls allow the user to open or close the fader directly. 
       
       To move the fader to positions other than OPEN or CLOSED, use the 
       SHU(OPCS) command to specify absolute degree positions for the fader.

    NOTES
       Specifying OPN or CLS during a pending fade or dissolve will effectively
       cancel the fade/dx, and send the fader to the specified position.

       The system will not acknowledge the ALLSTOP key until AFTER the fader
       has completed running to its position.

       OPN uses the INTERP(OPCSDEFS) command's [high] value to determine the
       degree position for OPEN on your system, and the [low] value to 
       determine the degree position for CLOSED.  See INTERP(OPCSDEFS) for 
       details.
