1.2.2. Setting Up CoCoA for the Tutorial
Some of the information from the online manual (and results of CoCoA
calculations, in general) may scroll off of the screen.  It is best to
run CoCoA from a system that has scrollable windows with enough
room to hold the output from each CoCoA command.

Under X-windows, you might try running CoCoA from an xterm started
with the command 'xterm -sb -sl 512' (scroll bar enabled, saving 512
lines).  In addition, you may want to increase the vertical size of
your window, e.g., 'xterm -sb -sl 512 -geometry 80x40' under
X-windows.  Better yet: run CoCoA from a shell within Emacs.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SCROLLABLE WINDOWS: enter the command
'H.SetMore();' to receive output 20 lines at a time.  As long as there
is output waiting to be printed, you will be prompted to enter
'More();' to get the next 20 lines.  You may type 'H.SetMore(N)' in
order to get N lines at a time instead of 20.

Enter 'H.Browse();' to continue.  (The 'Browse' command will be assumed
from now on.)
