This program allows you to compile and run basic code from the command line.<br />
<br />
You can enter the code on the command line or just enter the command and let it prompt for multi-line input.<br />
<br />
It writes an item TRIAL to a file called BP, and then compiles and runs it.<br />
<br />
If you want a different file or item name, you will have to amend the source code.<br />
<br />
