 ===== Hello World! =====
-Well, no introduction to any programming language would be complete without the traditional and ubiquitous **Hello World!** example.  So, here 'ya go!
+Well, no introduction to any programming (or scripting) language would be complete without the traditional and ubiquitous **Hello World!** example.  The basic unit of code in 10LC is called a **Program**.  You can have multiple programs in a single file, if you wish.  Programs are //opened// via the ''Program'' statement, and //closed// with the ''EndProgram'' statement.  So, here 'ya go!  First
-<code>
+<code c>
 Program HelloWorld;
     Display "# - Hello World - ";
-    :End
+EndProgram;
 </code>
-The '':End'' label is optional, it is just there to visually indicate the end of the program's code.  The above program, when compiled and executed on the 9010A, will emit a beep and display ''- HELLO WORLD - ''.  Note the trailing space - 10LC performs automatic conversion of trailing spaces (in display strings) to underscore characters so that they display correctly on the 9010A's display.
+The above program, when compiled and executed on the 9010A, will emit a beep and display ''- HELLO WORLD - ''.  Note the trailing space - 10LC performs automatic conversion of trailing spaces (in display strings) to underscore characters so that they display correctly on the 9010A's display.  Also, just like in 9LC, the pound/hash sign (''#'') is used with the display to cause the 9010A unit to beep.
+==== Basic Loops ====
+Loops in 10LC are constructed using Labels, ''Goto'' statements, and ''If'' statements.  For example, here is the implementation of a simple delay loop:
+<code c>
+:Delay                           // Delay Routine, Register F Contains The Delay Value
+    --RegF;                      // Decrement Delay Counter
+    If RegF > 0 Goto Delay;      // If Greater Than Zero, Go Back To Start Of Loop
+// End
