; NAME:
;       FTHELP
; PURPOSE:
;       Routine to print a description of a FITS ASCII table extension
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       FTHELP, H, [ TEXTOUT = ]
;
; INPUTS:
;       H - FITS header for ASCII table extension, string array
;
; OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORD
;       TEXTOUT - scalar number (0-7) or string (file name) determining
;               output device (see TEXTOPEN).  Default is TEXTOUT=1, output 
;               to the user's terminal    
;
; NOTES:
;       FTHELP checks that the keyword XTENSION  equals 'TABLE' in the FITS
;               header.
;
; SYSTEM VARIABLES:
;       Uses the non-standard system variables !TEXTOUT and !TEXTUNIT
;       which must be defined (e.g. with ASTROLIB) prior to compilation.
; PROCEDURES USED:
;       REMCHAR, SXPAR(), TEXTOPEN, TEXTCLOSE, ZPARCHECK
;
; HISTORY:
;       version 1  W. Landsman  Jan. 1988
;       Add TEXTOUT option, cleaner format  W. Landsman   September 1991
;       TTYPE value can be longer than 8 chars,  W. Landsman  August 1995
;       Converted to IDL V5.0   W. Landsman   September 1997
;       Remove calls to !ERR, some vectorization  W. Landsman  February 2000
