These lines give program title and author's credits
Here the program asks for instructions. Card (d) is printed, which tells the
program to begin an experiment.
The program asks for identification line and card (e) is printed.
This experiment is to have four conditions, as indicated on card (f).
The program asks for experimental condition definitions. Cards (g) and (h) are
printed.
The program agrees that four conditions have been defined.
The program states which variable are to remain constant across all four
conditions. Note that the variables -- REARING, INDUCT, and AGE -- have been set
to their default values.
Each condition is defined. Note that the variable TARGET alternates first
between CYLINDER and HEN, then the variable AROUSAL alternates between 3 and 5.
The program asks for the number of subjects to be run in each condition, and
then prints card (i).
The experimental simulation begins: the first line is the identification line,
then comes the time and date of the experiment. Group Number 1 is to be run
under condition A and has 15 subjects.
The score for each subject is printed out.
The score are analyzed and the statistics are printed out.

The output for conditions B-D follows the same format as the output for
condition A.
Notification of completion of the experiment. The user knows that all went well
with this run.
The program asks for another simulation supervisor command.
Card (j) is printed and the program tallies the number of experiments and groups
simulated.
The user signs off with card (k) and MTS prints out the signoff statistics.
