                      7: This script is designed to teach you the "eqn" language
                      8: for typing mathematics. 
                      9: There are two versions of the program. "eqn" is for
                     10: use on the phototypesetter; "neqn" is for use on a
                     11: terminal like a DASI or GSI, or a Model 37 teletype.
                     12: The lessons are mostly written under the assumption
                     13: that you will be using neqn on a DASI or GSI or teletype;
                     14: a few things that are specific to eqn on the typesetter are
                     15: left to the end.
                     16: 
                     17: The terminal MUST be a DASI or GSI or teletype,
                     18: or you will get some rather startling results
                     19: from this script.

                     22: should come out with subscripts, superscripts, Greek
                     23: letters and so on.  If it doesn't, we're in
                     24: trouble.

                     42: If you are using a DASI or GSI, make
                     43: sure the switch labeled "PLOT" inside the cover
