INTRODUCTION.

	XAP assembles files of  text, III buffers, graphics  and video into
binary image rasters which are then printed  on the XGP.
XAP  is pronouced "zap". The  XAP input  scanner has  a  command mode
and a  print  mode. The  scanner starts  by rescaning the R XAP monitor
command line for a semicolon; after the semicolon,  XAP accepts one teletype
line  of commands. For example:

.RU XAP;@XAP.DOC[XAP,BGB] will print this file on the XGP.

.RU XAP;⊗ARM.PLT[XAP,BGB] will print this III buffer:
~I800,850;X0.45;Y0.4;*ARM.PLT[XAP,BGB];
I970,200;F.
.RU XAP;⊗N.DAT[XAP,BGB] will print this video image:
~I1014,242;V1898,242;V1898,1414;V1014,1414;V1014,242;
~I1024,252;V1888,252;V1888,1404;V1024,1404;V1024,252;
