In this section we run through a fictitious XRONOS session to illustrate some of the commands and their usage in the various user interfaces. The input files required for this session are distributed together with XRONOS and can be found in the xanadu:[xronos.tut] directory. Startup up XRONOS on your machine in the above directory by typing xronos from the operating system prompt. You will see a banner giving useful information, followed by the XRONOS prompt:
Welcome to Xronos 5-JUL-1992 18:07:40 V. 3.00 Jul 92
Type "help" for information
[1]Xronos>
The number in square brackets identifies each of the XRONOS commands that
you enter. (The command recall followed by n will execute again the
n-th command.)
If a default plot device is not yet defined for your session, or if you need to change it, type cpd (change plot device):
