# How to run a program

To run a program which is written with this Editor/IDE or the Basic Stamp Editor® you have to:

- create a new file (`File->New` or `CTRL-N`) or open a file via FileBrowser ((`File->Open..` or `CTRL-O`) + double-click file)
- run it via standard run (`Options->run` or `CTRL+R`) or monitored run (`Options->monitored run` or `CTRL+M`)

You cannot run multiple programs at the same time.
