Reminder

Lisp Listener

The OM+ box performs an addition, whose result is given in the Listener.

The Listener is a Lisp communication interface : results of computations, warnings or error messages are displayed there. It also allows to send commands to OM, in other words, to evaluate Lisp expressions.

User inputs are typed and interpreted in the upper part of the Listener window. Output messages are printed in the lower part of the window.
