The Refal-5 parser name is prefal. Now we are going to report how to use prefal.

1. Copy prefal.rsl module in your working Refal directory. Put the following line

$EXTERN prefal;

   in the file containing your Refal program having to manipulate with Refal programs. The dollar sign has to be in the first column.

2. Now you may apply the parser

   <prefal e.fname>

where e.fname is the name of a file containing a program to be transformed;

3. To run your transforming program use the command:

    refgo program+prefal

4. You may see the example prefal-call.ref provided.

That is all.
