What options are available with each program?

Most GCG programs have a '-check' option. If you use this option, GCG will list all available options for that particular program and prompt you for further input.

Sample session:
helix% motifs -check

Motifs looks for sequence motifs by searching through proteins for the
patterns defined in the PROSITE Dictionary of Protein Sites and
Patterns.  Motifs can display an abstract of the current literature on
each of the motifs it finds. 

Minimal Syntax: % motifs [-INfile=]SW:Kad1_Human -Default

Prompted Parameters:

[-OUTfile=]kad1_human.motifs    the output file name

Local Data Files:  

-DATa=prosite.patterns   file of protein sequence patterns

Optional Parameters:

-NOREFerence    suppresses the PROSITE abstract for each pattern found
-FREquent       shows motifs that are frequently found in proteins 
-MISmatch=1     allows one mismatch
-NAMes          writes output file in file-of-sequence-names format
-APPend         appends the pattern data file to your output file
-SHOw           shows every file searched, even if no pattern was found
-ONCe           limits finds to patterns found only once
-MINCuts=2      limits finds to patterns found a minimum of 2 times
-MAXCuts=3      limits finds to patterns found a maximum of 3 times
-EXCLude=n1,n2  excludes patterns found between positions n1 and n2
-NOMONitor      suppresses the screen trace showing each file
-NOSUMmary      suppresses the screen summary at the end of the program

 Add what to the command line ?  -frequent
