Initializing help system before first use

Using the Mosel Command Line

The Mosel Command Line is supported on all platforms that Mosel can be run on.

Standard sequence for model execution from the command line:

mosel exec mymodel.mos            Execute (=compile/load/run) model 'mymodel.mos'
mosel mymodel                     Short form (works with 'mymodel.mos' or 'mymodel.bim')

Some useful commands (see `Mosel Language Reference manual' for the full list):
