    >>  PLEASE GIVE PAFEC JOB NAME

The user should enter the PAFEC job name in upper case without any file extension (.BS etc). The model files must all be in the current working directory. This will be followed by a menu display of commands which allow the user to either see the current options,change them,proceed or abort. As in FEMVIEW the user has to type only the minimum number of characters that will distinctly identify that command.

         MODEL
         DESTINATION
         RECOVER
         ELEMENT-GROUPS
         SHOW
         GO
         QUIT
 PAF-FV>

The commands MODEL, DESTINATION, RECOVER, and ELEMENT-GROUPS allow the user to change the current processing instructions, SHOW will display them, GO will cause processing to begin and QUIT will abort the program eg.
