another response to ``(cont'd)''
Parent topic: DOCUMENTATION Home
NOTE: The command :more! only makes sense at the terminal.
Example: ACL2 !>:more!will print all of the remaining documentation started by the last
:doc or :more-doc.
See more for some background. Typing :more! will print all
remaining blocks of documentation.
:More! is like :more except that it prints all the text at once.
For example, if you type :doc name you will see some text followed
by ``(cont'd)''. If you then type simply :more! you will see all of
the details, while if you type :more you will be fed the next block
of details.
a continuation of the :doc documentation
Parent topic: DOCUMENTATION Home
NOTE: The :more-doc command only makes sense at the terminal.
Examples: ACL2 !>:more-doc DEFTHM ACL2 !>:more-doc logical-nameOften it is assumed in the text provided by
:more-doc name that
you have read the text provided by :doc name.
:More-doc just continues spewing out at you the documentation string
provided with a definition. If the user has done his job, :doc will
probably remind you of the basics and :more-doc, if read after :doc,
will address obscure details that are nevertheless worth noting.
When :more-doc types ``(cont'd)'' you can get the next block of the
continuation by typing :more or all of the remaining blocks by
typing :more!. See more.
ACL2 analogues of Nqthm functions and commands
Parent topic: DOCUMENTATION Home
Example Forms:
:nqthm-to-acl2 prove-lemma ; Display ACL2 topic(s) and/or print
; information corresponding to Nqthm
; PROVE-LEMMA command.
(nqthm-to-acl2 'prove-lemma) ; Same as above.
General Form:
(nqthm-to-acl2 name)
where name is a notion documented for Nqthm: either a function
in the Nqthm logic, or a command. If there is corresponding
information available for ACL2, it will be printed in response to
this command. This information is not intended to be completely
precise, but rather, is intended to help those familiar with Nqthm
to make the transition to ACL2.
We close with two tables that contain all the information used by
this nqthm-to-acl2 command. The first shows the correspondence
between functions in the Nqthm logic and corresponding ACL2
functions (when possible); the second is similar, but for commands
rather than functions.

Nqthm commands --> ACL2
----------------------------------------
ACCUMULATED-PERSISTENCE
--> ACCUMULATED-PERSISTENCE
ADD-AXIOM --> DEFAXIOM
ADD-SHELL --> There is no shell principle in ACL2.
AXIOM --> DEFAXIOM
BACKQUOTE-SETTING
--> Backquote is supported in ACL2, but not
currently documented.
BOOT-STRAP --> GROUND-ZERO
BREAK-LEMMA --> MONITOR
BREAK-REWRITE --> BREAK-REWRITE
CH --> PBT
See also :DOC history.
CHRONOLOGY --> PBT
See also :DOC history.
COMMENT --> DEFLABEL
COMPILE-UNCOMPILED-DEFNS
--> COMP
CONSTRAIN --> See :DOC encapsulate and :DOC local.
DATA-BASE --> Perhaps the closest ACL2 analogue of DATA-BASE
is PROPS. But see :DOC history for a collection
of commands for querying the ACL2 database
(``world''). Note that the notions of
supporters and dependents are not supported in
ACL2.
DCL --> DEFSTUB
DEFN --> DEFUN and DEFMACRO
DEFTHEORY --> DEFTHEORY
DISABLE --> DISABLE
DISABLE-THEORY
--> See :DOC theories. The Nqthm command
(DISABLE-THEORY FOO) corresponds roughly to the
ACL2 command
(in-theory (set-difference-theories
(current-theory :here)
(theory 'foo))).
DO-EVENTS --> LD
DO-FILE --> LD
ELIM --> ELIM
ENABLE --> ENABLE
ENABLE-THEORY --> See :DOC theories. The Nqthm command
(ENABLE-THEORY FOO) corresponds roughly to the
ACL2 command
(in-theory (union-theories
(theory 'foo)
(current-theory :here))).
EVENTS-SINCE --> PBT
FUNCTIONALLY-INSTANTIATE
--> ACL2 provides a form of the :USE hint that
corresponds roughly to the
FUNCTIONALLY-INSTANTIATE event of Nqthm. See
:DOC lemma-instance.
GENERALIZE --> GENERALIZE
HINTS --> HINTS
LEMMA --> DEFTHM
MAINTAIN-REWRITE-PATH
--> BRR
MAKE-LIB --> There is no direct analogue of Nqthm's notion of
``library.'' See :DOC books for a description
of ACL2's mechanism for creating and saving
collections of events.
META --> META
NAMES --> NAME
NOTE-LIB --> INCLUDE-BOOK
PPE --> PE
PROVE --> THM
PROVEALL --> See :DOC ld and :DOC certify-book. The latter
corresponds to Nqthm's PROVE-FILE,which may be
what you're interested in,really.
PROVE-FILE --> CERTIFY-BOOK
PROVE-FILE-OUT
--> CERTIFY-BOOK
PROVE-LEMMA --> DEFTHM
See also :DOC hints.
R-LOOP --> The top-level ACL2 loop is an evaluation loop as
well, so no analogue of R-LOOP is necessary.
REWRITE --> REWRITE
RULE-CLASSES --> RULE-CLASSES
SET-STATUS --> IN-THEORY
SKIM-FILE --> LD-SKIP-PROOFSP
TOGGLE --> IN-THEORY
TOGGLE-DEFINED-FUNCTIONS
--> EXECUTABLE-COUNTERPART-THEORY
TRANSLATE --> TRANS and TRANS1
UBT --> UBT and U
UNBREAK-LEMMA --> UNMONITOR
UNDO-BACK-THROUGH
--> UBT
UNDO-NAME --> See :DOC ubt. There is no way to undo names in
ACL2 without undoing back through such names.
However, see :DOC ld-skip-proofsp for
information about how to quickly recover the
state.
