3.4.4 Running programs

The best way to run a program, with the Irie Pascal Integrated Development Environment (i.e. the IDE), depends on whether the IDE is in project mode or in file mode. NOTE: The Executable Preferences page of the User Preferences dialog box is used to switch between file and project modes, and to select executable options for file mode.

Running programs in project mode

If the IDE is in project mode, you should run an existing program by running the project with which it is associated. When you run an existing project the IDE will automatically run the program associated with the project (see The Compile menu entry for more information). In this mode the executable options from the Miscellaneous options page will be used when running the program.

Running programs in file mode

If the IDE is in file mode, you run an existing program by simply opening the file containing the program (see the File menu for more information on opening files), and then running it. In this mode the executable options on the Executable Preferences page will affect how the program is run. See running programs for more information.
