COMMENTS

       This function implements "hetch" for extracting values from
       expressions of the form `name=value' from an auxiliary input
       header. The fourth argument, tag, is used to determine the
       location of the auxiliary input header according the 
       following rules.
       Look for 'tag=header' on the command line.
       Use 'tag' as the auxiliary header name.
       When a keyword `par=filename' is encountered in the file, 
       that file (and any that it might in turn point to) is scanned 
       as well. Note auxpar() with tag="in" is now identical to hetch().
