.NS 1 "Getting on and off the System" .pp Startup FP from the shell by entering the command:

.b "/usr/local/fp". .pp The system will prompt you for input by indenting over six character positions. Exit from FP (back to the shell) with a control/D (^D). .NS 2 "Comments" .pp A user may end any line (including a command) with a comment; the comment character is '#'. The interpreter will ignore any character after the '#' until it encounters a newline character or end-of-file, whichever comes first. .NS 2 "Breaks" .pp Breaks interrupt any work in progress causing the system to do a \s-2FRANZ\s+2 reset before returning control back to the user. .NS 2 "Non-Termination" .pp LISP's namestack may, on occasion, overflow. FP responds by printing \*(lqnon-terminating\*(rq and returning bottom as the result of the application. It does a \s-2FRANZ\s+2 reset before returning control to the user. .sx 1
