		The LISP CAI System

The following is a short sample session with the system.  Once
you have succeeded in logging in, the syystem is self-explanatory.
Feel free to type question mark (?) anytime the system appears
to expect an input.  The system will respond with an explanation
of your options at that point.  (You are encouraged to do so
in any new situation, since you may have options of which you
are not aware.)

In order to log in, you must:

1.  Go to a terminal.  (If it is a TTY, push the START key.
    The teletype motor will begin to hum.)

2.  Type space.  The system will respond with:

HI

PLEASE TYPE YOUR NUMBER AND NAME.

3.  Type your account number, a space, your "nickname", and a space.
    The system responds with your last name, so that the line appears
    as:

nnn JOHN DOE

following which the system will type something like:

JOB 15 ON TTY50,  FRI MAR 29 76 9:45AM-PST

4.  Then, if this is the first time you have logged in, the system
    will ask you to set a password (anything up to six characters).
    On subsequent logins, the system will ask:

PASSWORD?

    Type your password, followed by a carriage return.  (The password
    will not be echoed back by the system.)

5.  The system then types:

RUNNING
LOAD AV     3.07     2.37     1.76

LISP CAI SYSTEM 10-7-75
MON 29-MAR-76 08:47:10
GOOD MORNING,JOHN!

followed by any messages that may be waiting, and then:

TYPE ? FOR HELP AT ANY TIME!
6.  The LISP CAI system will prompt with a dot (.).  This means that
the system is waiting for a command from the terminal.  As usual,
you may type a question mark (followed by a carriage return, of course)
to view your options.  (However, this will not work within the LISP
editor, but only at the top level when within LISP.  To exit from
the editor, type OK.)  Note that here and elsewhere the symbols "<>"
surround metasymbols, which denote a class of objects.  These <>'s
are NOT typed into the system.

	The rest of this handout was zeroxed from an old handout (Spring 1975)
with changes to the detailed descriptions of the COMPILE and ZAP
commands, as follows:

KOMPILE → COMPILE in COMPILE.

ZAP <arg>	allows you to kill off the COMPILE,
		UPLANNER, or VERIFY processes.
		Please do so when you are finished
		with them.  ZAP ? gets you details.

and with the heading for the detailed descriptions changed to:

A detailed summary of the more important commands follows.
