Hi,
I understand that the use of $main in a single file compile will be ignored, but when you are compiling Projects, the help file says it "Marks the beginning execution point of the program. Used in project mode compiling."
So where exactly is the "beginning execution point" ?

At the top of the source code file where you started building your project. Usually the file where you create your main screen. Anything in the file before the $MAIN directive will not be acted upon (totally ignored).
But your source code files can be linked in any order and the file where your program starts may wind up being the last file linked thus the $MAIN directive..
In the IWB IDE there are 65 source files.
Thanks, Larry,
So, basically, it is at the top of your program listing, before anything else, unless the 'anything else' is a comment line!
