Program files
The following B4P program files are also contained in the b4p_installation folder.
These will be copied to the user's B4P folder for use immediately after after installation.
| hello world.b4p | Your very first b4p program |
| My B4P Init.b4p | A user-customizable B4P initialization file and template. |
| main.b4p | A default B4P program which can start automatically if desired |

| start B4P here.b4p | A 1-statement B4P program which sets current directoy as the starting directory. |
Note: If B4P is started without a B4P program file, then B4P will look in the user's B4P directory for 'main.b4p'.
If 'main.b4p' is not found, then it will go into interactive mode.
