gripes about summary

Description
- The output of summary is too verbose now. Information is spread loosely over 3 80-column lines. Hard to remember what each column means, and use of Hz for frequencies creates unwieldy numbers.
- At least on kaputar, invoking scans.summary() opens a separate pager which disappears when done. If the information is not going to pop out in a separate window then it should stay in the screen buffer.

Tony,
This needs a bit more discussion to what is useful for all cases (mulit-beam/if) I have reassigned this to Chris, and moved it into the Release 2.1 targets

Summary function cannot really be cut down any further without being useless. Ticket closed unless a contrete alternative is suggested. I am hoping in the next version of asap all these header variables will be available to the users, so a custom "summary" function specific to the users need could be written easily.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

I agree, I should reintroduce the verbose toggle. What would you like to see in a terse summary?
