Hi


I also have a need for something of a similar nature. Its fairly easy
to look at the current state and check for all the current tokens that
could be shifted, but then I don't know a *good* way to proceed. The
problem is that you have to save the current state and run the machine
on default reductions and check for tokens that become valid at a
later state. I wasn't willing to go this far-


Love to hear any more authoritative replies.
