Look in gendocdata, at the file ecohigh.cod. This is the codon usage in
highly expressed E. coli genes.

$ map/silent (OpenVMS)
% map -silent (Unix)
Note, it figures out which frame to be silent in by the first base that
you tell it to map, so if the DNA you're working on is out of frame, use
begin=2 or 3.
