 NAME
        scm - a Scheme Language Interpreter
 
@@ -17,63 +15,44 @@ SYNOPSIS
 DESCRIPTION
        Scm is a Scheme interpreter.
 
-       Upon  startup scm loads the file specified by by the envi-
-       ronment  variable  SCM_INIT_PATH  or  by   the   parameter
-       IMPLINIT in the makefile (or scmfig.h) if SCM_INIT_PATH is
-       not defined.  The makefiles attempt  to  set  IMPLINIT  to
-       "Init.scm" in the source directory.
+       Upon  startup  scm loads the file specified by by the environment vari-
+       able SCM_INIT_PATH or by the parameter IMPLINIT  in  the  makefile  (or
+       scmfig.h)  if  SCM_INIT_PATH  is not defined.  The makefiles attempt to
+       set IMPLINIT to "Init.scm" in the source directory.
 
-       Unless  the  option -no-init-file or --no-init-file occurs
-       in the command line, "Init.scm" checks to see if there  is
-       file  "ScmInit.scm"  in the path specified by the environ-
-       ment variable HOME (or in the current directory if HOME is
-       undefined).  If it finds such a file it is loaded.
+       Unless the option -no-init-file or --no-init-file occurs in the command
+       line,  "Init.scm"  checks  to see if there is file "ScmInit.scm" in the
+       path specified by the environment variable  HOME  (or  in  the  current
+       directory if HOME is undefined).  If it finds such a file it is loaded.
 
-       "Init.scm"  then looks for command input from one of three
-       sources: From an option on the command line, from  a  file
-       named on the command line, or from standard input.
+       "Init.scm" then looks for command input from one of three sources: From
+       an  option  on the command line, from a file named on the command line,
+       or from standard input.

-       command line.
+       The options are processed in the order specified on the command line.
 
        -akbytes
-            specifies that scm should allocate an  initial  heap-

        -eexpression
 
        -cexpression
-            specifies that the scheme expression expression is to
-            be evaluated.  These options are inspired by perl and
-            sh  respectively.  On Amiga systems the entire option
-            and argument need to  be  enclosed  in  qoutes.   For
-            instance "-e(newline)".

-            garbage collection statistics.  This is the  same  as
-            -p3.

-       -m   specifies that  subsequent  loads,  evaluations,  and
-            user interactions will be with R4RS macro capability.
-            To use a specific R4RS macro implementation from SLIB
-            (instead  of  SLIB's  default)  put  -r  macropackage
-            before -m on the command line.

+            times, notice of loading files, and garbage collection statistics.

-            ity.  R4RS macro capability can be restored by a sub-

+            will not terminate until the (quit) or (exit)  command  is  given,
+            even  if  there are errors.  It also sets the prolixity level to 2
+            if it is less than 2.  This will print prompts, evaluation  times,
+            and  notice  of  loading files.  The prolixity level can be set by

+       -b   specifies that scm should run non-interactively.  That means  that
