Abstract
The basic vocabulary consists of basic symbols classified into letters, digits, and special symbols. The special symbols are operators and delimiters: 
Word-delimiters (or reserved words) are normally underlined in the hand-written program to emphasize their interpretation as single symbols with fixed meaning. The programmer may not use these words in a context other than that explicit in the definition of Pascal; in particular, these words may not be used as identifiers. They are written as a sequence of letters (without surrounding escape characters).
