<H1>Eli User Interface Reference Manual</H1>
<P>
Eli focuses a user's attention on the information required to specify a
text processor, rather than the tools implementing it, by automating the
process of tool invocation.
Desired products, such as an executable program or the result of a test
run, are regarded as <DFN>derived objects</DFN>.
Eli responds to a request for a derived object by invoking the minimum
number of tools necessary to produce that object.
Derived objects are automatically stored for re-use in future derivations,
thereby significantly shortening the time required to satisfy requests.
<P>
This document is a reference manual for the general mechanisms by which a
user can describe objects, make requests, and tailor Eli's behavior.
For suggestions on using Eli to carry out specific tasks,
see <A HREF="novice_2.html#SEC7">Example of Guide for New Eli Users</A>;
for a complete list of the kinds of objects that can be derived,
see <A HREF="pp_toc.html">Top of Products and Parameters</A>.
<P>
Although our primary emphasis here is on interactive use of Eli,
all of the material except command line editing and the interactive help
facility also applies to non-interactive use.
The description of the Odinfile (see <A HREF="ui_5.html#SEC13">The Odinfile</A>) is particularly
important in that context.
