Programs / Includes buttons allow access to include files or the program files. Includes are usually collections of procedures or functions which are conveniently stored separate from the program.
The Status window gives information on the state of the program, any errors which occur, and messages which the program can write to it. For example, you can see below in the third line that npoints is set to 41. This information is obtained with the writeln() procedure.
The comments window shows the comments entered by the programmer, which may include version, instructions for use and who wrote it.
The Name box is where you give your program a name!
The Save,Delete,Find and Line # Buttons are pretty self explanatory. Save will permanently save any changes, Delete will delete all the program, find will look for and highlight text, line # takes you to the line you enter - this is very useful for debugging long programs.
