Notations

Throughout the manual the following notations will be used.

Typewriter Font denotes keywords recognized by PAMoC. These have to be typed as shown, but may be in upper or lower case. Keywords which have the same meaning and produce the same action are enclosed in parentheses "()" with a vertical bar "|" as the delimiter, i.e. ( keyword1 | keyword2 | ... | keywordN ). A double vertical bar "||" is used to delimite two mutually exclusive options. Parentheses "( )" can be omitted if no ambiguity occurs. Keywords may require one or more parameters.

<italic> embedded in brackets "< >" is used for parameters and options which should be replaced with actual values. Brackets "< >" usually indicate a set of parameters and options and can be omitted if no ambiguity occurs. Square brackets "[ ]" denote optional keywords and options.
