D?DE?ES?SC?CR?RI?IP?PT?TI?IO?ON?N
Sherpa is a Monte Carlo event generation framework.
This manual page contains only the very basic information on the synop-
sis of Sherpa. The full description is maintained as a TeXinfo manual.

P?PA?AR?RA?AM?ME?ET?TE?ER?R=_?V_?A_?L_?U_?E
Sets the value of a parameter.

T?TA?AG?G:?:=_?V_?A_?L_?U_?E

E?EX?XA?AM?MP?PL?LE?E
This is an example for the first invocation of Sherpa

S?Sh?he?er?rp?pa?a -?-p?p L?LH?HC?C/?/ -?-f?f R?Ru?un?n.?.d?da?at?t

The program uses run parameter specifications listed in the base file
_?R_?u_?n_?._?d_?a_?t residing in the directory _?L_?H_?C.

F?FI?IL?LE?ES?S
Example files are found in the s?sh?ha?ar?re?e directory.
