DOCUMENTATION on ES

["Sandeep Kumar" <san@cs.unipune.ernet.in>]

hello,

i had posted a mail to this list with the subject -- "Problem with a small
program" where i had requested for help for getting solution for two problems --

1. accesing return value of a function.
   on my system "<>" doesn't work, but i continued efforts to figure it out
   and found that "<=" worked.

   so this problem is now solved.
   BUT has given rise to one more question ?

DO WE HAVE A DOCUMENTATION FOR ES ANYWHERE? IF YES, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
I (and many friends of mine here) would like to have it to understand and
learn es in better way.

2. other problem was, how to run es programs from within a file like normal 
   shell scripts? i haven't managed to find a way yet :-((


I found that es is a functional shell with mixture of imperative constructs.
what if someone here develops es into a language altogether instead of it being
a shell, the language with combined features of functional and imperative
programming.

Please mail your responses to "san@cs.unipune.ernet.in" also.
