The edit-compile-reload cycle

In this tutorial, as in a real Centaur session, you will find yourself following a cycle of program editing, compilation, and reloading. When you change a formalism definition, pretty printer definition, environment, etc., you should reload the appropriate tool from a button in the main menu's Load pulldown. Thus, after compiling a Metal abstract syntax specification, click on . A menu will display all known formalism names (as declared by resources). You may click on Cancel should you decide against reloading.

And remember, if modify a file containing resource specifications, click on then in the ctview's Display pulldown.
