Procedures

There are two types of procedures: built-in and user-written. The built-in procedures are those supplied as part of the nu/TPU text processing engine. There are over 300 built-in procedures. Details on each of the procedures are provided in the built-in section of this reference manual. The built-in procedures are available for use in all text processing developed with nu/TPU. The second type of procedure is user-written procedures. These procedures include the procedures written to create the editing interfaces supplied with nu/TPU, any procedures you create to extend an editing interface, and any procedures written to develop stand-alone text processing functions. Developing an interactive editing interface requires the use of both built-in and user-written procedures.
