 run all of our science frames and cals in the {{{screen -x scripts}}} session so that any failures can be diagnosed by the HPF team.
 
-ATTENTION. If you need to pause cals use:
-
-- {{{pausehpf}}} ({{{playhpf}}} to continue) if you want to pause the script before the next hpf exposure stars
-- {{{pausecal}}} ({{{playcal}}} to continue) is the command to pause the cals before it stars a next set of observations before using the FCU head. Historically this command was made to pause the cals temporally for anybody on side to switch on the lights in the dome, or use fcu head for something else, etc.
+To control cals use:
+
+  * When you want to pause any script before the next new set of hpf exposures start
+{{{pausehpf}}}: Is to pause what is running before the next hpf exposure sequence starts
+{{{playhpf}}}: Is to continue the paused expousre.
+
+  * When you want to skip the rest of the exposure in the current ongoing multiple frame exposure sequence.
+{{{sc}}}: This command is to discard all the remaining exposure in a multiple exposure command. It is meant for use in a normal science observation. If used during a cal script, it will discard the remaining exposures inside a set of ongoing exposures, and continue on to the next set of cals exposures. Note: It will not stop the rest of the  cal script.
+
+  * When you want to abort the morning or evening cals.
+Cntrl+C is the way to abort the script
+Cntrl+C will trigger the wrap up scripts, and it should cleanly abort the cals scripts. (With the caveat that any ongoing exposure which has already started will not stop until that is completed.)
+
+  * When you want to pause the cals before the next usage which requires FCU unit.
+{{{pausecal}}} : Is the command to pause the cals before it stars a next set of observations before using the FCU head. Historically this command was made to pause the cals temporally for anybody on side to switch on the lights in the dome, or use fcu head for something else, etc.
+{{{playcal}}} : This command will resume the cal scripts by taking control of FCU again.
