Starting and stopping Soar
==========================

When Soar starts up, it attempts to load an initialization file named
{.init.soar}. Soar first looks for a file with this name in the current
directory; if it can't find it there, it looks in the user's home directory;
if it can't find it there, it gives up.  If found, the file is loaded
immediately.

Note that the Soar default productions are not "pre-loaded" into Soar. It is
highly recommended that users include a load command in their {.init.soar}
file to automatically load them at startup time.
