"... it is impossible for a non-programmer to run a program without the
proper user instructions; even an experienced programmer would, in most
cases, find it easier to write his own program rather than try to run an
existing one without any user-instructions."

BTW I just bought a 9810A - what a beautiful machine. Info at
