Starting

## 1.2 Starting

To run this program, type and enter the command: `gnucap`, from the command shell.
The prompt `–>` shows that the program is in the command mode. You should enter a command. Normally, the first command will be to `build` a circuit, or to `get` one from the disk. First time users should turn to the tutorial section for further assistance.
To run in batch mode, use `gnucap -b file`. It will run that file then exit.
To load a file on starting, use `gnucap file`. This is equivalent to starting with no arguments, then using the `get` command to load a file.
