+"B<bc> is a language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with "
+"interactive execution of statements. There are some similarities in the "
+"syntax to the C programming language. A standard math library is available "
+"by command line option. If requested, the math library is defined before "
+"processing any files. B<bc> starts by processing code from all the files "
+"listed on the command line in the order listed. After all files have been "
+"processed, B<bc> reads from the standard input. All code is executed as it "

+"The I<auto_list> is an optional list of variables that are for \"local\" "
+"use. The syntax of the auto list (if present) is \"B<auto >I<name>, ... ;"
+"\". (The semicolon is optional.) Each I<name> is the name of an auto "
+"variable. Arrays may be specified by using the same notation as used in "
+"parameters. These variables have their values pushed onto a stack at the "
+"start of the function. The variables are then initialized to zero and used "
+"throughout the execution of the function. At function exit, these variables "
+"are popped so that the original value (at the time of the function call) of "
+"these variables are restored. The parameters are really auto variables that "

+"are different than traditional local variables because if function A calls "
