The NASA/GSFC network is currently experiencing intermittent issues that affect our services. We are working on it and apologize for the inconvenience.
The offline tool hark (also on github) can be used to find and download data from the cloud.

save

save the current session commands

Save aspects of the current state to a command file.

Syntax: save <option> <filename>

If no <filename> is given, then the file savexspec.xcm is created. If you don't give the extension to the file name the default is .xcm. The values of <option> allowed are model, files, and all. The model option writes out commands to recreate the current model and parameter values; the files option writes out commands to read-in the current spectra, and the all option does both of the above. The default option is model. To recover the saved context use the command:

XSPEC12>@filename

Examples:

XSPEC12> save model fname 
// Write out model commands to the file fname.xcm
XSPEC12> save
// Same as above, but save into file savexspec.xcm.
XSPEC12> save files fname
// Write out data file commands.
