-  Proof General is designed for proof assistants which have a
-  command-line shell interpreter.  When using Proof General, the proof
-  assistant's shell is hidden from the user.  Communication takes
-  place via three buffers (Emacs text widgets).  The <i>script
-  buffer</i> holds input, the commands to construct a proof.  The
-  <i>goals buffer</i> displays the current list of subgoals to be
-  solved.  The <i>response buffer</i> displays other output from the
-  proof assistant.  By default, only two of these three buffers are
-  displayed at once.  This means that the user only sees the output
-  from the most recent interaction, rather than a screen full of
