batch |
                 batch, 1
                 batch, 0

    	    batch()
         turns on, turns off, or tests for batch mode, respectively.
         If yorick is started with the command line:
            yorick -batch batch_include.i ...
         then batch mode is turned on, the usual custom.i startup file is
         skipped, and the file batch_include.i is parsed and executed.  The
         -batch and batch_include.i command line arguments are removed from
         the list returned by get_argv().  These must be the first two
         arguments on the command line.
         In batch mode, any error will terminate Yorick (as by the quit
         function) rather than entering debug mode.  Also, any attempt to
         read from the keyboard is an error.

bookmark |
                 backup, f
              or bmark= bookmark(f)
                 ...
                 backup, f, bmark

         back up the text stream F, so that the next call to the read
         function returns the same line as the previous call to read
         (note that you can only back up one line).  If the optional
         second argument BMARK is supplied, restores the state of the
         file F to its state at the time the bookmark function was
         called.
         After a matching failure in read, use the single argument form
         of backup to reread the line containing the matching failure.
