Dynamic scoping available with FLUID declaration.
Operators are evaluated (as in Scheme, no function-value cell).
Saved states can be resumed to create arbitrarily complex control structures.
Alternate-heap garbage collector.

Interactive stepper / debugger allows two-way interaction with source program
    through the structure editor.
Interfaces to CMS, FORTRAN, GDDM and VM / Prolog.
