             Help on how to use Mapleman.
            -----------------------------

Mapleman is a player object like you and I in the moo that
provides a multiuser interface to the computer algebra system
Maple.

Unlike your character Mapleman's actions are not controlled by
a human but by a program that is running in the computer
from where Mapleman is connected to the moo.

When Mapleman is active, it watches over what is said
by the players in the room with him. If someone in the
room ends the sentence with any one of the three characters
';' , ':', '=' mapleman evaluates the sentence as a
maple command, updates its own description and, if the
final character was ';' or '=', it pastes the result to the room of,
either the plain maple evaluation of the sentence (if ';') or
the maple evaluation of  'sentence' = sentence (if '=' or '=;').

Ending maple commands in '=' or '=;' is useful for talking math in
the room since maple formats the quoted sentence in usual
mathematical notation.

To refer to the previous expression in maple, instead of the usual
command 'evalf(");'  you need to say:

   "evalf(\\\");

Anyone can take mapleman to another room by saying:

   "follow me mapleman;

and stop mapleman from following with:

   "mapleman nofollow;

To clean-up the maple session and start a new one with
title, 'Untitled MooMaple Session' say:

   "reset;

But if you want to reset with title, 'The Use of Curl in Maple' say:

   "resetThe Use of Curl in Maple;

To save the maple session on the web say:

   "save;

For complete help on maple say:

   "?;


It is also possible to do some simple editing of the active
maple session. At the moment you can only delete the last input
with:

   "delete last;

Or include (maple2html) comments with:

   "# whatever text\\\nIs needed for new lines;

   "#!h1 This is a Header;

For complete info on the maple2html mode check:
http://omega.albany.edu:8008/maple2html

It is also possible to input commands to mapleman with the verb:

   > input "whatever;" to mapleman

e.g.

   > input "#!h1 This is also a header;" to mapleman
