As the above-mentioned page says (emphasis mine): *** A unit contains a set of declarations, procedures and functions that can be *used by a program* or another unit. ... The initialization parts of the units are executed in the order that the compiler loaded the units *when compiling a program*. They are *executed before the first statement of the program* is executed. *** Here's how you write a program: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refse71.html You may also want to go through the entire tutorial I linked to earlier: http://www.learn-programming.za.net/programming_pascal_learn01.html Jonas_______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
