To install a package:
install <package_name>
Most commands can be truncated; as long as the command is unambiguous,
PPM will recognize it. For example, 'repository add foo' can be entered
as 'rep add foo'.
PPM features user profiles, which store information about installed
packages. Profiles are stored as part of your ASPN account; thus, you
can easily maintain package profiles for different languages, or
configure one machine with your favorite packages, and then copy that
installation to another machine by accessing your ASPN profile.
For more information, type 'help profile' at the PPM prompt.
