SET/MOS par=value [...]
	set mos keywords
\us\pu
Purpose:    Define the values of parameters in the current session.
            Up to 8 keywords can be defined in one single command.

\up\sy
Syntax:     SET/MOS par=value [...]
\ys\pa
            par   = parameter name
\ap\pa
            value = parameter value

\ap\no
Note:       a)  No space character can be inserted on the right or left
                part of the sign "=". The name of the mos keyword
                can be truncated to a non ambiguous root.

            b)  Short description of mos keywords is provided by
                HELP/MOS command, values are displayed by SHOW/MOS.

            c)  It is possible to assign a value to mos keywords using
                monitor assignment. In this case, there must be a space
                on both parts of the sign =. The syntax depends on the
                definition of the keyword (provided by HELP/MOS).
                Examples:
                   ORDREF = "ff456.bdf    "  (keyw. ORDREF/C/1/60)
                   WIDTH1 = 12               (keyw. WIDTH1/I/1/1)
                   MEDFILT(2) = 4.           (keyw. MEDFILT/R/1/3)
                To assign values to character keywords, additional spaces
                must be inserted to overwrite a longer previous value.


            e)  To assign the value of an element of a multiple element
                keyword (e.g. MEDFILT/R/1/3) it is possible to use
                the direct assignment (MEDFILT(2) = 4.) or the SET/ECH by
                inserting comas in place of the values that must not be
                changed.
