+So that's what's going on with those `Closure`s. In the simple code we gave you to work with, we just made these another clause in the `term` datatype. That's really not correct. `Closure`s aren't terms. The syntax for our language doesn't have any constituents that get parsed into `Closure`s. `Closure`s are only created *during the course of evaluating terms*: specifically, when a variable gets bound to an abstract, which may itself contain variables that are locally free (not bound by the abstract itself). So really we should have two datatypes, one for terms, and another for the *results* (sometimes called "values") that terms can evaluate to. `Closure`s are results, but they aren't terms. (In later weeks, we will see more examples of results that aren't terms, but can only be generated during the course of a computation.) `App`s are terms, but not results. If we had primitive numbers or other constants in our language, they might be both terms and results. In the fuller code from which your homework is simplified, this is how the types are in fact defined. But it makes things more complicated. So to keep things simple for the homework, we just pretended like `Closure`s were a new, exotic kind of `term`.
+
+In any case, now you know what's going on with the `Closure`s, and you should be able to complete the missing pieces of the `eval` function in the code skeleton linked above.
+
+If you've completed all the missing parts correctly (there are six gaps for the previous stage of the homework, and two gaps for this stage), then you should be able to compile the code skeleton, and use it as described in the comments at the start of the code.

+## Fuller interpreter
+
+We've also prepared [[a fuller version of the interpreter, that has user-friendly input
+and printing of results|/topics/week7_untyped_evaluator]]. It
+will be easiest for you to understand that code if you've
+completed the gaps in the simplified skeleton linked above.
+
+There's nothing you need to do with this; it's just for you to play with. If you're interested,
+you can compare the code you completed for the previous two segments of the homework
+to the (only moderately more complex) code in the `engine.ml` file of this fuller program.
