The first line assigns the path and name of a file to the variable INST_PARA. On the next line, awk is being used to look through each line of that file. If the 2nd ($2) item on the line is "ArchiveSave", print out the 4th ($4) item on that line. If you want to include a portion of the file $HOME/install/Install.Para I can show you what the output would be.

BTW, I believe there needs to be a space between 'print' and '$4'
