A-Shell Programmer’s Notepad

The basic test of APN is very straightforward: open a program file and compile it. Since APN has been configured for A-Shell by the setup program, you should be able to start using it immediately without further configuration. As a test to confirm that your environment is functional:

Use File > Open to open an ASB program
Use Tools > ASB Compile (F5) to compile the progam

Did the program compile or fail to compile as expected? Look in the Output message area at the bottom of the APN window and you should see the usual compiler output. If yes, continue on to the the next sections, Usage and Configuration. If no, fix the problem(s)—likely related to file locations or the switches set above—before proceeding.
