(1) Use the function "restore" to restore a variable to what it was when
SAGE started. Type restore? to see how.
sage: x = 5; f = 10
sage: x, f
(5, 10)
sage: restore('x f')
sage: x, f
(x, f)
(2) Use "del varname" to delete the given variable completely.
(3) Use reset() to restore *all* variables to how they were when SAGE
started.

By the way, I hope you'll consider letting us distribute your tutorial
too when it is done.
