This is a small command interpreter with some commands like setting search paths, default colormaps etc. (see command.c) Just type 'q' if you want to enter the window mode. This interpreter is also used to execute a startup script (.mandrc) in the current or home directory. Here a short example: ----------- echo (Uwe's mandrc!) #set default picture and colormap search paths set path /home2/i30fs1/mandel/images /home2/i30fs1/mandel/cm set path /home2/i30fs1/mandel/images/julia #store default colormaps (they can be select via the colormap menu) store colormap m1 m2 m3 m4 m5 m6 m7 m8 m9 m10 m11 m12 m13 m14 m15 m16 m17 store colormap m18 m19 m20 m21 m22 m23 m24 m25 m26 m27 m28 m29 m30 m31 store colormap m32 m33 m34 m35 m36 m37 m38 m39 m40 m41 m42 m43 m44 m45 store colormap m46 m47 m48 m49 m50 m51 m52 m53 store colormap c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 --------------
