This is the area that takes up most of the run window.

Output from your programs is displayed here. When your program uses an Input statement, you can type in the requested input from this text box. You can use the scroll bars to view the entire text buffer. If an error occurs while running a program, the error number, program file name, line number and function name will be displayed in this text area. You can double click on the line where the error is displayed to directly go to the source line that caused the problem.

Function Select a function to start. Functions are sorted alphabetically. Function main is selected by default.

This allows you to run your program in low power mode to verify operation without having to change the program.
