# PaKo's Cook Book

This section provides a basic step-by-step cook book for doing standard observations in an interactive session with the telescope. It only gives simple examples, details on all the options that are available can be found in later sections.

It starts with some general commands and the selection of a source catalog. Then two more subsections explain how to do ``Spectral Line Observations with Heterodyne Receivers'' and ``Continuum Observations with Bolometers''.

Remember that in command language scripts based on SIC:

`!` starts a comment; `-` indicates that a command is continued on the next line; `PAUSE` pauses the execution of the script, e.g., in order to allow the user to review the parameters set; and the case (upper or lower) generally doesn't matter.
