  Software requirements
  The FirstBasic compiler, as well as applications written with FirstBasic,
  require DOS version 3.0 or higher.

                        Section 5: Running the Compiler

   You run the FirstBasic compiler by typing FIRSTBAS at the DOS prompt.
   You can also type FIRSTBAS followed by the name of a Basic source file
   to load into the editor.  If you specify a filename, FirstBasic will
   automatically load that file into the editor, ready to be
   edited/compiled/executed. You exit the compiler by typing Alt-X, or
   Alt-F to bring up the file menu and then "Q" to Quit.  The active
   function keys are always listed at the bottom of the screen.
