CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL 

NOTATION               DESCRIPTION 

nonitalics             Words in syntax which are not in italics must be
                       entered exactly as shown.  Punctuation characters
                       other than brackets, braces and ellipses must also
                       be entered exactly as shown.  For example:

                            EXIT;

italics                Words in syntax statements which are in italics
                       denote a parameter which must be replaced by a
                       user-supplied variable.  For example:

                            CLOSE filename 

[ ]                    An element inside brackets in a syntax statement
                       is optional.  Several elements stacked inside
                       brackets means the user may select any one or none
                       of these elements.  For example:

                            [A] User may select A or B or neither.
                            [B]

{ }                    When several elements are stacked within braces in
                       a syntax statement, the user must select one of
                       those elements.  For example:

                            {A}
                            {B} User must select A or B or C
                            {C}

...                    A horizontal ellipsis in a syntax statement
                       indicates that a previous element may be repeated.
                       For example:

                            [,itemname]...;

                       In addition, vertical and horizontal ellipses may
                       be used in examples to indicate that portions of
                       the example have been omitted.

,                      A shaded delimiter preceding a parameter in a
                       syntax statement indicates that the delimiter must 
                       be supplied whenever (a) that parameter is
                       included or (b) that parameter is omitted and any
                       other parameter which follows is included.  For
                       example:

                            itema[,itemb][,itemc]

                       means that the following are allowed:

                            itema 
                            itema,itemb 
                            itema,itemb,itemc 
                            itema,itemc 

Å                      When necessary for clarity, the symbol Å may be
                       used in a syntax statement to indicate a required
                       blank or an exact number of blanks.  For example:

                            SET[(modifier)]Å(variable);

underlining            When necessary for clarity in an example, user
                       input may be underlined.  For example:

                            NEW NAME? ALPHA 

                       In addition,brackets, braces, or ellipses
                       appearing in syntax or format statements which
                       must be entered as shown will be underlined.  For
                       example:

                            LET var[ [subscript] ] = value 

shading                Shading represents the terminal's screen or key
                       portions of an example.

                       The symbol   may be used to indicate a key on the
                       terminal's keyboard.  For example, RETURN 
                       indicates the carriage return key.

CONTROLchar            Control characters are indicated by CONTROL 
                       followed by the character.  For example, CONTROLY
                       means the user presses the control key and the
                       character Y simultaneously.
