Subject: decision making references 

Does anyone know of references to 

         Real time  multi-agent decision making strategies 
         Real time single-agent decision making strategies 
     OR 
         Heuristics that humans use in real time situations 
         in either group or solo problem solving? 

Any leads on these topics will be appreciated.

Does anyone have the set of "if/then" rules for playing 
some version of mastermind?

in the SIGART Newsletter.  -- KIL]

Subject: stray parens and brackets 

Some of us recipients of the aforementioned stray parens here at MCC would 
appreciate it if the Interlisp programmers out there would set #RPARS to NIL, 
so that the pretty printer does not substitute square brackets for multiple 
parens.  Many of us are working in Zetalisp, which does not recognize square 
brackets as anything special, and trying to infer how many parens are 
implied by a random square bracket is very difficult and time consuming. 

Thanks for your consideration in this matter.
