  20
  21    <p>The following commands help you find out which language is the
  22 working language, and also what language source files were written in.
  23
  24      <dl>
  25 <dt><code>show language</code>
  26      <dd>Display the current working language.  This is the
  27 language you can use with commands such as <code>print</code> to
  28 build and compute expressions that may involve variables in your program.
  29
  30      <br><dt><code>info frame</code>
  31      <dd>Display the source language for this frame.  This language becomes the
  32 working language if you use an identifier from this frame.
  33 See <a href="Frame-Info.html#Frame%20Info">Information about a frame</a>, to identify the other
  34 information listed here.
  35
  36      <br><dt><code>info source</code>
  37      <dd>Display the source language of this source file.
  38 See <a href="Symbols.html#Symbols">Examining the Symbol Table</a>, to identify the other
  39 information listed here.
  40 </dl>
  41
  42    <p>In unusual circumstances, you may have source files with extensions
  43 not in the standard list.  You can then set the extension associated
  44 with a language explicitly:
  45
  46      <dl>
  47 <dt><code>set extension-language </code><var>.ext</var><code> </code><var>language</var><code></code>
  48      <dd>Set source files with extension <var>.ext</var> to be assumed to be in
  49 the source language <var>language</var>.
  50
  51      <br><dt><code>info extensions</code>
  52      <dd>List all the filename extensions and the associated languages.
  53 </dl>
