Specification for Project Name: Introduction to the Falcon document Date: 9/19/88 Participants: K. Corbett, D. Saslav, all Falcon programmers Est. Work: Four weeks Project status: Under review Purpose: This document will serve as the primary introductory volume for new Falcon customers. By analogy with the Lambda, it will comprise the equivalent of the Introduction to the Lambda and the Lambda Operations Manual. Description: This document will contain information required by new Falcon users for understanding these basic Falcon concepts: % LISP machine introduction; % Description of the keyboard layout and mouse functions; % Booting and restarting the Falcon; % Online help facilities; % The File System; % The Window System; % The Editor; % Maintenance programs (Peek, Inspector, etc.) A significant body of text exists for the equivalent topics for the Lambda; with the exception of the keyboard layout, it is conceivable that none of the topics in the second group will have to be written entirely from scratch; revision and reformatting of existing documentation may be a viable approach to this manual.
