Note:       
        INIT/CCD (without name) will also load the names of some standard ESO 
        frame descriptors that contain instrument specific information about 
        the observation into the CCD keyword structure. So, for example, the 
        descriptors names for exposure type, exposure time, analog-to-digital 
        value, read-out-noise are loaded into the CCD keywords.

        By default, after initializing, the CCD context assumes that the 
        standard ESO descriptors, originating from the ESO hierarchical FITS 
        keywords are used.

        These desciptor names are loaded by running a procedure eso_descr.prg.
        At initialization of the CCD context a copy of this procedure is put
        in the user's directory. If, for some reason, your descriptors names 
        do not conform to the default ESO names, you can modify this small 
        procedure, and execute is by ``@@ eso_descr''.

Examples:
\ex
        INIT/CCD
        Initialize the CCD package. This is automatically done if you enable
        the CCD context with SET/CONTEXT CCD
\xe\ex
        INIT/CCD mysession
        Restore the complete settings of a previous CCD session, saved with 
        the name `mysession'.
