  1. STEP(Form:any):any EXPR
  2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3. Step is a loadable option (Load Step). Evaluates form,
  4. single-stepping. Form is printed, preceded by -> on entry, <-> for
  5. macro expansions. After evaluation, Form is printed preceded by <-
  6. and followed by the result of evaluation. A single character is read
  7. at each step to determine the action to be taken:
  8. Control-N (Next)
  9. Step to the Next thing. The stepper continues until the next thing
  10. to print out, and it accepts another command.
  11. Space Go to the next thing at this level. In other words, continue to
  12. evaluate at this level, but don't step anything at lower levels.
  13. This is a good way to skip over parts of the evaluation that don't
  14. interest you.
  15. Control-U (Up)
  16. Continue evaluating until we go up one level. This is like the
  17. space command, only more so; it skips over anything on the current
  18. level as well as lower levels.
  19. Control-X (eXit)
  20. Exit; finish evaluating without any more stepping.
  21. Control-G, Control-P (Grind)
  22. Grind (i.e. prettyprint) the current form.
  23. Control-R
  24. Grind the form in Rlisp syntax.
  25. Control-E (Editor)
  26. Invoke the structure editor on the current form.
  27. Control-B (Break)
  28. Enter a break loop from which you can examine the values of
  29. variables and other aspects of the current environment.
  30. Control-L
  31. Redisplay the last 10 pending forms.
