Direct Commands During Procedure Entry

It is sometimes useful to have a command directly executed while entering a procedure. When using the direct entry method this can be done by prefixing the command with a % character. For example:

    ICL> PROC SQUARE_ROOT X
    SQUARE_ROOT> %HELP

would give us on-line help information we might need to complete the procedure. If the % was omitted the HELP command would be included as part of the procedure.
