Could someone kindly explain what ML is?  Is it mock-lisp, or
MAC-lisp, or muddle, or something un-lisp?

(Yeah, too lazy to read all the code and understand the language :-)

Also, a nit:

I expect that many many terminals do NOT generate ^J when you hold
Control and type Return.  This should also talk about typing either
