Title: Startup

OldNewLine
1+The **startup** of an [[Application|application]] is the point after the [[Initialization|initialization]] of the [[RTL|run-time library]] where the user program has any necessary variables assigned, any needed [[File|files]] to be opened, any window handles allocated (on windowing systems), and other [[resource|resources]] needed for the program to operate. If there is startup code necessary to be executed in any [[Unit|unit]] which is called by the primary application, the [[main]] procedure of each unit is called in the order it is declared in the program.

3+After startup occurs, the [[main]] procedure of the main program then begins execution.
