                      4: The next neqn operation is called "sqrt" - it makes
                      5: square root signs over things, like this:
                      6: .EQ
                      7: sqrt a+b
                      8: .EN
                      9: (They don't look very good on a terminal, unfortunately.)
                     10: This one is very easy - to print the line above, you
                     11: say
                     12:    .EQ
                     13:    sqrt a+b
                     14:    .EN
                     15: The "sqrt" operates on the first thing it finds
                     16: so if you want something more complicated, like
                     17: .EQ
                     18: sqrt {pi +1}
                     19: .EN
                     20: you have to use braces to enclose the entire
                     21: thing.  This one was printed with
                     22:    .EQ
                     23:    sqrt {pi +1}
                     24:    .EN
                     25: And that's all there is to sqrt.
                     26: 
                     27: Modify "Example" so it looks like this, then type "ready".
