Abstract: ReadEvalPrint is being maintained to keep the JaM package alive. Its use is discouraged for future packages. The rest of this abstract is from ReadEvalPrint.mesa comments: This interface attempts to abstract some of the notion of a Read-Eval-Print loop. In particular, the common case of a viewer based Read-Eval-Print loop is fully supported. The major goal of this package is to provide the (rather complex) catch phrases needed to isolate mortal programmers from the many signals that can arise during user interaction. These catch phrases are hard to get right and it is hoped that those whose applications fit the read-eval-print model closely enough can use this package as is. Those with more complex requirements can use the implementation of this package as a starting point for modifications.
