12.6 Running complete REDUCE programs

The commands reduce-run-file and reduce-run-buffer run REDUCE code as an independent REDUCE program by starting the specified version of REDUCE in a new process buffer named uniquely by the file or buffer containing the REDUCE code. This allows several REDUCE programs to be conveniently run simultaneously and independently. Both commands prompt for the REDUCE command to run (via run-reduce).

C-c C-M-f
M-x reduce-run-file

This command reads a file name from the minibuffer, starts REDUCE in a new process buffer named uniquely by the file (unless it already exists) and inputs the file into REDUCE. It asks whether you want the input echoed. The key binding is provided in both REDUCE Edit and Run modes.

C-c C-M-b
M-x reduce-run-buffer

This command starts REDUCE in a new process buffer named uniquely by the current buffer (unless it already exists) and inputs the current buffer into REDUCE. The key binding is provided in REDUCE mode only.
