This needs some major clarification because people have different notions of what "program" means. It is true that there is no check for END; to be the end of a source file (which, on the HP Prime, is called a "program"). The problem with calling the source file a "program" is that a source file can generate many new "commands" of the form:

Code:


EXPORT COMMAND()
BEGIN
  // code for COMMAND()
END;

and a lot of people consider these "commands" as individual programs -- especially if each is coded to perform different tasks.

On the other hand, each "command" block (what I personally would have called a "program") MUST NECESSARILY end with END; -- otherwise a syntax error will be generated.
