Full documentation is not yet available, but
here is the very basic information on how to
start using ACT-R 6.

Load the load-act-r-6.lisp file into your
Lisp application (currently ACL 6.2, 7.0, & 8.0,
MCL 5.0 and 5.1, OpenMCL 0.14.3, CMUCL 19a, CLisp
2.38 and LispWorks 4.3 and 4.4 are the only ones 
that have been tested).  


Notes:

- for MCL you must use the "Load Unix" option on the file memu.
- for CLisp you need to remove the environment-loader.lisp
  file from the tools directory (the ACT-R environment
  will not be available).

That will load everything and you are
ready to start working.

If you would like to use the ACT-R
Environment GUI then you need to do two
things.

First, run the Environment Application which
can be found in the environment directory.
In Windows you should run the "Start Environment.exe"
application and on Macs with OS X it's the
"Start Environment OSX" application.  If
you are using Unix or Linux and have Tcl/Tk
installed you can start it by running the
starter.tcl script located in the GUI directory
of the environment.

The "Control Panel" window will appear on
the right of your display saying "Waiting
for ACT-R" at the top.

Once that's there you now need to call
start-environment from Lisp.  That will
connect ACT-R to the GUI tools and lots
of buttons should now be available on 
the "Control Panel". 

When you are done, you should call 
stop-environment from Lisp before quitting
to make sure the GUI closes down properly.
