If you attempt to compile source code from the help window without
copying it into the working window, you will get an unresolved
external on _main in dos\crt0.asm. This error occurs because the
compiler start-up code calls _main. The linker generates this error
because there is no program (and hence no main function) in the
working window. To correct this problem, make sure to copy the source
FROM the help window TO the working window.
