User Interface
**************

     
This chapter describes the way a user interacts with Soar.  The sections are
organized functionally---in terms of how a user would use the functions.
Each function description includes a specification of its syntax and an
example of its use.

For a concise overview of the Soar interface functions, see the Function
Summary and Index on page ?.

For additional editing and development capabilities in GNU Emacs, use the
Soar Development Environment (SDE).  Contact soar-requests@cs.cmu.edu for
more information.
