To use the CLUI for a new equation, change to an empty directory. For an existing equations-file, change to its directory. (Do not activate the CLUI in the directory auto/07p or in any of its subdirectories.) Then type
If your command search path has been correctly set (see Section 1.1), this command will start the AUTO CLUI interactive interpretor and provide you with the AUTO CLUI prompt.
In addition to the examples in the following sections there are several example scripts which can be found in auto/07p/demos/python and are listed in Table 4.1. These scripts are fully annotated and provide good examples of how AUTO CLUI scripts are written. The scripts in auto/07p/demos/python/n-body are especially lucid examples and preform various related parts of a calculation involving the gravitional N-body problem. Scripts which end in the suffix .auto are called ``basic'' scripts and can be run by typing auto scriptname.auto. The scripts show in Section 4.3 and Section 4.5 are examples of basic scripts. Scripts which end in the suffix .xauto are called ``expert'' scripts and can be run by typing autox scriptname.xauto. More information on expert scripts can be found in Section 4.6. See the README file in that directory for more information.
