                        THE POP11 LIBRARY
                        =================

The library is in several parts. Files in
                USE$POP:[POP.LIB.AUTO]*.P
are 'autoloaded'. See [POP.HELP]AUTOLOAD.

Other autoloadable directories may be added to POPLIBLIST. The default
value of POPLIBLIST is easily altered in [POP.POP]INIT.P which is compiled
whenever POP11 starts up.

Files in
                USE$POP:[POP.LIB.LIB]*.P

are only loaded if this is explicitly requested by the LIB command, or the
USES command. (See LIB.P and USES.P).

The directories accessed by LIB and USES are those listed in
        POPUSESLIST

which may also be set up in [POP.POP]INIT.P

See for example VED_DM.P. If a VED ENTER command is given which is not
recognized, then 'VED_' is attached to the command, and a search is made for
an autoloadable file which will define an appropriate procedure. E.g.
        ENTER DM
will cause the file USE$POP:[POP.LIB.VED]VED_DM.P to be compiled, and the
procedure defined therein to be obeyed.
