-\index{Scantable!cursor}Generally the user will want to run functions
-on all rows in a scantable. This allows very fast reduction of

-specific elements of the spectra. This is handled by the scantable
-cursor, which allows the user to select a single beam, IF and
-polarisation combination.

-
-\begin{verbatim}
-  ASAP> scans.set_cursor(0,2,1)      # beam, IF, pol

-\subsubsection{Allaxes}
