AIPS to CASA cheat sheet

So, i've been spending the last couple days learning CASA, and I think the most intuitive way to think about it is in terms of what I would be doing in AIPS. Hence the below table. Most tasks in AIPS have a parallel in CASA, although it's not always a one-to-one transfer.

Update: New and improved as of March 5, 2010:

Do you have a favorite AIPS-to-CASA pair? Disagree with any of the above? Let me know in the comments! I'm still learning.

p.s. I'm supposed to be writing CASA documentation for the beginner (e.g., myself), so I doubt this is the last time I will be seeking feedback.

p.p.s. Why is blogger putting this horrific space before my table? I can't get rid of it and it looks fine in the preview. quack. This tip seemed to get rid of it.
