+Usage
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+  USE: lindenmayer setup-window
+
+Towards the end of the "lindenmayer.factor" file, there are words for
+various L-systems. Let's pick abop-1, which is an example from the
+book The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants
+
+  abop-1
+
+Look at the axiom
+
+  axiom get .
+
+And the productions
+
+  rules get .
+
+The string to be interpreted is stored in the result variable. Start
+off by calling init to copy the axiom to result
+
+  init
+
+Look at result
+
+  result get .
+
+It's just the axiom. Now iterate the string
+
+  iterate
+
+You should see a branch and a leaf. Look at the result again:
+
+  result get .
+
+Call iterate as many times as you want. :-) After about 4 iterations
+the tree starts to grow beyond the edge of the window. Change the
+point that the camera is looking at:
+
+  { 0 0 3 } camera-focus set-global display
+
+You can also change where the camera is located:
+
+  { 0 0 10 } camera-position set-global display
+
+Happy gardening
