Notation

The following conventions for computerese have been used more-or-less consistently throughout this manual:

• Examples of commands entered at the terminal are in typewriter font: USLITWIDTH 50, as are messages from the computer;
• Angle brackets denote parameter values or character strings: <angle>;
• Square brackets denote optional input e.g. tt [x,y]; all other parameters are obligatory;
