Abstract
We now define a programming notation in terms of wp. We will also indicate how each command of the programming notation is to be executed, so that the reader can relate it to statements of other conventional languages. Also, by showing how the command can be executed we establish that it really is useful. But the definition in terms of wp should be viewed as the definition of the command.
