CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL 

NOTATION         DESCRIPTION                                                                                                         

nonitalics       Words in syntax statements 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]
                 [B] User may select A or B or neither.

{ }              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 indicated
                 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 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 a
                 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.
