136 ;;Quote: data objects in Boxer are unevaluated; like quote in Lisp but not stripped on evaluation
137 ;;Quote: Boxer's device programming is like electronic design where a few types of components are hooked together as a network; graphical and simple
148 ;;Quote: direct manipulation needs easily reproducible symbols for entities; text is best, that's its purpose
148+;;Quote: abstraction means having complex entities as units represented by their names
149 ;;Quote: is there a workable gestural indication for conditional branching? if..then..else works well
150 ;;Quote: direct manipulation is useful as an execution environment but not for representing programs
