Introduction

PARADYME has been designed so that systems are built up in a modular fashion. Each screen being a module within the whole system. Using COMMON and subroutine parameter lists, the user can pass information between each of these modules to generate the total integrated system.

As a result of this, the user will only be working on one module at a time, the name of the module the user is working on is entered in this, the front screen.

To begin a PARADYME session type 'PDS' at TCL level on an account where PARADYME has been installed.
