I’ve been playing with Prolog for quite a while. I’m not a big expert, but I learned the most important thing is — abandon everything you learned about programming in FORTRAN, C or Pascal.

And a funny thing — Prolog is exactly the same as simple planners. You write operators (you may call them "procedures") and the Prolog system searches depth-first to find a sequence of them that will reach the goal of completing the top-level goal (you may call that a "command").

On the "millions of options" front, does the Richtext have a CODE option or something. No matter what I seem to do, the example programs and even output data from programs, seems to get royally screwed up when I insert it. You seem to  get double spaced lines that look like normal text, or you get itty bitty printing and everything run into 1 line.

The example Prolog code is still messed up somewhere between these 2 extremes and is essentially unreadable by man or machine.
