# Introduction
-The Muddle language is described in "The Muddle Programming Language",
-but in addition to the language itself, there is a rich and varied
-collection of software written in the language which facilitates the
-writing of programs and systems of programs in Muddle. The information
-describing this programming environment has been contained in various
-documents, some out of print or out of date, and in supplemental disk
-files describing changes and additions. Some of the packages of
-functions used to deal with Muddle code have never been formally
-documented. This manual brings together some of that scattered
-documentation.

The document's purpose is to flesh out the description of the language
contained in "The Muddle Programming Language", giving a fuller
debugging.
It should be noted that, in addition to the editors discussed below,
-RMODE and EMACS, TECO based text editors, understand much of the
-syntax and many of the conventions of Muddle programs.
