-==== Creating Code ====
+===== Creating Code =====
+The code can simply be typed into a text editor. Windows-supplied ''notepad.exe'' does the trick flawlessly, however, for major projects the use of some dedicated code editor, like [[https://notepad-plus-plus.org|Notepad++]] might be considered. The finished code is to be saved in UTF-8 format into a file **with the extension ''.mls''**.
+The structure of a simple Delphi/Turbopascal programme is as follows:
+<code delphi>
+const
+  // Constant declarations
+VAR
+  // Variable declarations
+(* Subprogramme definitions *)
+procedure DoSomething;
+begin
+  // Executable statements
+end;
+(* Main programme *)
+begin
+  // Executable statements
+end.
+</code>
+**Note** the different use of semicolon ('' ; '') and period ('' . '') in subprogramme and main programme respectively.
