SAVE

        SAVE [commandToSave]
        SAVE ALL [CORRECTIONS]
        SAVE SET [CORRECTIONS]
        SAVE SWITCHING

        Save parameters and options of a command in the form of a valid .pako
        script.

        Character :: commandToSave     ! command to save

        If commandToSave is not specified, the last selected observing mode is
        saved.

        SAVE ALL saves (nearly) all current setup parameters, as well as the
        current switching and observing modes, to file all.pako, or to a
        different file specified with /FILE.

        NOTE: SAVE ALL and SAVE SET save the pointing and focus corrections
        only if they are used in the form
        SAVE ALL C[ORRECTIONS]
        SAVE SET C[ORRECTIONS]

        (Normally SAVE ALL and SAVE SET are meant to generate paKo scripts
        that can be used to re-produce the setup at a later time, when one
        probably wants to use different corrections. On the other hand the
        idiomatic usage: SAVE ALL C /FILE LAST allows to save "really
        everything" in order to recover it with @ LAST)

        SAVE SWITCHING saves the currently selected switching mode (total
        power, beam, frequency, wobbler), to file switching.pako, or to a
        different file specified with /FILE.

        NOTE: the parameters of "unused" (unselected) hardware, switching
        modes, and observing modes are never saved.
