How can I slim down the answers I get returned from a predicate to 1? For
example, term([2,times,3,times,4],N). returns all of
N = [24|1] ;
N = [[24|1], 1] ;
N = [[24|1], []] ;
N = [6|1] ;
N = [[6|1], 1] ;
N = [[6|1], [times, 4]] ;
N = [2|1] ;
N = [[2|1], [times, 3, times, 4]] ;

I just want the first answer. I'm pretty sure I need to use cut(!) but
the all documentation I've been able to find on its use is pretty
slim. Has anyone used it successfully, and could you please post a crash
course on it?

Thanks,
Mark
