View Ref-FileThe first entry in the drop down File menu is Select. When this entry is
chosen, a File Select box appears for you to enter the GFA file on which you
want to work. As with all the other commands, you can also make this selection
using keys; the Select menu entry can also be activated up using
Control and S.

The Compiler menu entry sends the file selected to the Compiler, which will
create an object file called TEST.O. The Compiler can also be activated
using Control and C.

The next menu entry can be used to call the Interpreter. The file assigned is
the one given in the Select entry. The Interpreter function can also be
activated using Control and I.

The Linker entry can be selected using Control and L, to create
an executable program called TEST.PRG from the file TEST.O created by the
Compiler.

The RCS entry will call the RCS2.PRG. An alternative program name can
be placed in the variable gfarcs$. The RCS function can also be
activated by Control and R.

Selecting the Test entry, or Control and T, will initiate the
execution of the program TEST.PRG.

The Execute entry. The Execute function can also be activated by
Control and X. An external program can be run from this command. The
file selection will appear, requesting you to enter the program to be executed.

The F10 key, calls the Compiler and then the Linker, and is thus a short cut
for Control and C and then Control and L.
