* This function sets the return to be equal
* to argument, which is a string array.
*
* In this subroutine we provide information about
* the function.  The user configurable information 
* consists of the following:
*
* descr              Text description of the function
*
* num_args           Required number of arguments
*
* axis_inheritance   Type of axis for the result
*                       ( CUSTOM, IMPLIED_BY_ARGS, NORMAL, ABSTRACT )
*                       CUSTOM          - user defined axis
*                       IMPLIED_BY_ARGS - same axis as the incoming argument
*                       NORMAL          - the result is normal to this axis
*                       ABSTRACT        - an axis which only has index values
*
* piecemeal_ok       For memory optimization:
*                       axes where calculation may be performed piecemeal
*                       ( YES, NO )
* 
*
* For each argument we provide the following information:
*
* name               Text name for an argument
*
* unit               Text units for an argument
*
* desc               Text description of an argument
*
* axis_influence     Are this argument's axes the same as the result grid?
*                       ( YES, NO )
*
* axis_extend       How much does Ferret need to extend arg limits relative to result 
*
