That doesn't really answer the question. It's like you just bought a
self-driving car and then ask people how you push the accelerator
pedal. What are you trying to do? Well, what normal people use the
accelerator pedal for! Only, that's irrelevant. The point of your new
car isn't to push the pedal - it's to get you some place. Where are
you trying to get to?
