Mouseless Assembly using a Clause Set:

   If the clause-set has been built on clauses which follow the ‘prefix/suffix naming convention,’ and if you know the clause-sets name, you can avoiding the Clause Selection and all intermediate screens. Simply type the name on any blank line on your editing screen and press <Alt-G>. Pathagoras will find it for you directly.  (You can even omit typing the “set_” prefix.)  For this reason, it is a good idea to keep a checklist of set_clauses handy. See Checklist.
