Compiler Option: -m

Main file without extension to indicate the main module
Syntax
` -m < source file >
`
Parameters
source file
The name without extension of the main module source file
Description
The -m compiler option specifies a main entry point for a source file; the argument is the name of a source file minus its extension.
So the main module file must be called twice in the command line:
after compile option "-m", but without specified extension,
and also like any module to compile, but there with its specified extension.
WARNING: the spelling of < _source file_ > is case-sensitive! (unexpected ERRORS may otherwise occure)
If "-m" is not specified, the first source file listed is given a main entry point.
When using the "-c" or "-r" switch, "-m" must be specified when compiling a main source file.
The intrinsic macro __FB_MAIN__ is defined in the main module and not defined in other modules.
