Hello,

Thank you for the follow up. 

#  root[]  .p [expr]   < \[base] > 
  .p command only takes expression. Declaration, loops and other
  block statements can not be given.  In most  cases, you do
  not need to use .p command.  

#  root[]  [statements]
  You can input almost any statements. You can input
  declaration, loops, etc...  Exceptions are function definitions,
  class definitino with member function definitions, etc...

Thank you
Masaharu Goto
