Introduction to MPE XL for MPE V Programmers Migration Guide

Overview of
Differences: 
MPE V/E 
and MPE XL 

The Command Interpreter (CI) has undergone major changes.  Enhancements
to the CI make it more powerful, more flexible, and easier to use in MPE
XL. Many tasks that require programs on MPE V/E can be done simply
through the CI on MPE XL. You can create user command files to be
accessed programmatically in MPE XL. Four new intrinsics have been added
on MPE XL NM and several others are changed slightly.
