The <em>algebraic</em> command changes REDUCE's mode of operation to 
algebraic. When <em>algebraic</em> is used as an operator (with an 
argument inside parentheses) that argument is evaluated in algebraic 
mode, but REDUCE's mode is not changed.

. 
Error messages in this mode may also depend on the particular Lisp 
used for the REDUCE implementation.
