I have begun going through a ROOT tutorial and to execute my
"programs" for ROOT I have been making small programs like:


int main() {

 ... INSERT TUTORIAL PROGRAM ...
}


When I went into "root4star" to execute the program, I loaded it into
root using ".L program.c" and then typed "main()" to execute it.  I
noticed that I could change the program and re-execute it without
reloading it and when I tried to unload the program with ".U
program.c", the reply I got was that the program wasn't loaded.

I guess my questions are what is this ".L" command doing?  Is there
anything wrong with this?  Thanks.

Bye

Randy
