Run-time Modification of PPATH Action

The user can modify the operation of the PPATH at run-time by using the special command-line keywords RESET and/or ACCEPT.
RESET
Causes CURRENT to be ignored on the PPATH.
ACCEPT (or $\backslash$)
causes the suggested value to be used for any required parameters which would otherwise be prompted for. The user may also respond to a prompt with $\backslash$. The suggested value will be taken for the prompted parameter and for any remaining parameters. It is also possible to force ACCEPT for individual parameters by putting keyword=ACCEPT or keyword=$\backslash$ on the command line (where keyword is the keyword of the parameter).

If there is no suggested value, the prompt will be issued anyway.

E.g. with the Interface File above, the command:
disp reset accept
will cause the static default value, rather than the current value, to be used as the suggested value for IMAGE, and that value to be used as the parameter value without prompting.
