Running the Example Program
in "Command-Line" Mode

[Note: Command-line mode might not work on some "public" computers
where the administrator has restricted the use of certain features.]

First start up SiMPLE by double-clicking the SiMPLE icon on your desktop. This would bring up a black window displaying the names of all the SiMPLE programs that you've previously created. (If this is your very first program, the window would be mostly empty except for some standard header information at the top.)

Next, you would pick a name for the new program. (Let's say that you wanted to try running our previous example program, and you decided to call it "EXAMPLE".) You would then type:

                  open example

and press the "Enter" key. The black window would then change into a blue window. This is the window where you would type in the program listing.

When you have finished typing in the listing you would click on the word "File" in the menu bar and select "Exit." This would return you to the black window where you would simply type:

                  run example

and press the "Enter" key.

And that's how easy it is to create your own software when you use SiMPLE, the programming language for kids!
