\chapter{Miscellaneous tools}
+Subsequently we describe various Isabelle related utilities --- in
+alphabetical order.
+
+
+\section{Viewing documentation --- \texttt{isatool doc}} \label{sec:tool-doc}
+
+The \tooldx{doc} utility displays online documentation:
+\begin{ttbox}
+Usage: isatool doc [DOC]
+
+ View Isabelle documentation DOC, or show list of available documents.
+\end{ttbox}
+If called without arguments, it lists all available documents. Each
+line starts with an identifier, followed by some comment. Any of these
+identifiers may be specified as the first argument in order to have
+the corresponding document displayed.
+
+\medskip The \texttt{ISABELLE_DOCS} setting specifies the list of
+directories (separated by colons) to be scanned for documentations.
+The program for viewing \texttt{dvi} files is set in
+\texttt{DVI_VIEWER}.
+
+
+\section{Tuning proof scripts --- \texttt{isatool expandshort}}
+
+The \tooldx{expandshort} utility tunes {\ML} proof scripts to enhance
+readability a bit:
+\begin{ttbox}
+Usage: expandshort [FILES ...]
+
+ Expand shorthand goal commands in FILES. Also contracts uses of
+ resolve_tac, dresolve_tac, eresolve_tac, rewrite_goals_tac on
+ 1-element lists; furthermore expands tabs, since they are now
+ forbidden in ML string constants.
+
+ Renames old versions of FILES by appending "~~".
+\end{ttbox}
+In the files supplied as arguments, all occurrences of the shorthand
+commands \texttt{br}, \texttt{be} etc.\ are replaced with the
+corresponding full commands. Shorthand commands should appear one per
+line. The old versions of the files are renamed to have the
+suffix~\verb'~~'.
+
+\section{Get logic images --- \texttt{isatool findlogics}}
+
+The \tooldx{findlogics} utility traverses all directories specified in
+\texttt{ISABELLE_PATH}, looking for Isabelle logic images. Its usage
+is:
+\begin{ttbox}
+Usage: isatool findlogics
+
+ Collect heap file names from ISABELLE_PATH.
+\end{ttbox}
+The base names of all files found on the path are printed --- sorted
+and with duplicates removed. Also note that \texttt{ISABELLE_PATH}
+implicitely depends upon \texttt{ML_SYSTEM}. Thus switching to another
+{\ML} compiler may change the set of logic images available.

With the \texttt{-a} option, one may inspect the full process

contains much more variables than are actually Isabelle settings.

\section{Isabelle's version of make --- \texttt{isatool make}}
+The Isabelle \tooldx{make} utility is a very simple wrapper for
+ordinary Unix \texttt{make}:
\begin{ttbox}
Usage: isatool make [ARGS ...]
Compiles logic in current directory using IsaMakefile.
ARGS are directly passed to the system make program.
\end{ttbox}
+Note that the Isabelle settings environment is also active. Thus one
+may refer to its values within the \texttt{IsaMakefile}, e.g.\
+\texttt{\$(ISABELLE_OUTPUT)}. Furthermore, programs started from the
+make file also inherit this environment.
+
+\medskip You may want to have a look at the \texttt{IsaMakefile}s of
+the distributed object-logics as examples for your own developements.
