   This is sort of OK:   
      
   test()   
      for i=1:1:3 do   
        . write "Hi from Mumps!",!   
      quit   
      
   But if we abbreviate commands as Mumps allow then it becomes   
   practically unreadable for those not knowing Mumps:   
      
   test2()   
      f i=1:1:3 d   
        . w "Hi from Mumps!",!   
      q
