Starting a B4P Program under MacOS
B4P can also be started without specifying a dedicated file name. In this case, it will first look for "main.b4p" in the current
directory (if started from command line). If the file is not found, then it will look for "main.b4p" in starting directory.
If not successful, then interactive mode is started.
In the next example, B4P starts and finds 'main.b4p' in the initial starting directory which is the subdirectory 'b4p' in your home directory.
Start B4P
[~]$ b4pB4P - Beyond Former Performance
