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] 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 shades 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 

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

                           SET[( modifier)]_( 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.

CONTROL char          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.
