This file contains a step-by-step example of starting the simulation. It assumes that you have set your PATH and CLASSPATH appropriately (you can copy the example.profile file to your home directory and rename it .profile if you like. Don't forget to change the CLASSPATH value to make it point to the right place).

Once you have started the simulator, follow the instructions in running_your_agents. You can end the simulation by pressing return twice.

Lines beginning with a % show what you actually type on the prompt. After logging in we see this:

There should now be several log files in the current directory - the important one is "rescue.log". You can view it by running "view_log.sh rescue.log".
