Execution of productions within Soar can be started by d, run or go. Execution can be stopped by pressing Control and C together (on the Macintosh, in some versions you use C-c and in others you hold down the Apple key, the one with the paddle on it, and type a period).
The d command runs Soar one decision cycle at a time. If no integer is given, then Soar runs until it is explicetly halted (e.g. either by achieving the top-level goal or having the stop character typed to it). If an integer is given (e.g., d 5) then Soar will only continue processing for the given number of decision cycles.
Similarly, the run (or just r) command processes a
set number of elaboration cycles.
The go command is the most versatile since it takes
two arguments, one giving the number of cycles to be run, and
the other specifying what type of thing to run. For example,
go 3 o runs for three operator selections.
