Setting the system variable (⎕LX) to 'HelloWorld' and saving the workspace ensures that this code is executed automatically when our program is loaded.
This program will result in this form:
To make our program runnable we can select the File|Export menu command to make a bound executable whose name we can type into the Run... dialog.
