In the following, Ca Cb Cc ... represent keys pressed with the control key. F1 F2 ... Fn represent the function keys along the top of the keyboard. Except at the start of a statement, --- represents a subexpression to be evaluated before the containing expression. +++ represents an expression to be parsed but not evaluated. ___ represents a string. abc represents a name. dfe represents a file, directory filename extension. 123 represents an identifier. 012 represents a number. 01 represents a boolean. ... represents repetition. Statements introducing subsequent statements begin with ---. Statements describing commands begin with the command as entered with optional whitespace. The same command may have multiple forms, in which case the statement describing the command begins with each of the forms. For an example of a command with three forms, see the O command.
