`echo Hello, my name is 'name$' and I am 'age' years old.
`

is

`writeInfoLine: "Hello, my name is ", name$, " and I am ", age, " years old."
`

The meaning of

`Draw... 0 0 0 0 yes Curve
`

is

`Draw: 0, 0, 0, 0, "yes", "Curve"
`

The meaning of

`Read from file... 'fileName$'
`

is

`Read from file: fileName$
`
