S is a language for the manipulation of objects. It aims to be both an interactive language (like, for example, a Unix shell language) as well as a complete programming language with some convenient object-oriented features. In this chapter we shall be concerned with the interactive language, and hence certain language constructs used mainly in programming will be postponed to Chapter 4.
