+TOPS-20 supports many programming languages using a standard COMPILE/LOAD/SAVE model.  TOPS-20 is very helpful using command recognition and DWIM (Do What I Mean) without having to completely type out everything.  Here are few simple examples to get started:
 **FORTRAN-77**
-      @copy TTY: test.for
+//NOTE: This formatting is punched card style - The first 5 and 6th columns are special//
+      @copy TTY: test.for                             ;A simple way to enter in TEXT from the terminal
        TTY: => TEST.FOR.1
+               PROGRAM TEST                           ;Declare the name of the program
+               WRITE (5, 10)                          ;OUTPUT to the terminal (UNIT 5) at line 10
+       FORMAT(' TESTING 1 2 3!')              ;FORMAT the text for OUTPUT
+               END                                    ;END the program
+      ^Z                                              ;CTRL-Z closes the file
+      @type test.for                                  ;TYPE the test.for file and verify
                PROGRAM TEST
                WRITE (5, 10)
        FORMAT(' TESTING 1 2 3!')
-      	       END
+               END
-      ^Z
+      @compile test                                   ;COMPILE the file TEST
-      @type test.for
+      FORTRAN: TEST                                   ;COMPILE determined TEST is a FORTRAN program
-      PROGRAM TEST
+      TEST  	                                      ;TEST is now written out as a .REL file
+      @load test                                      ;LOAD the file (or EXECUTE TEST to LOAD and RUN)
-      	WRITE (5, 10)
-	FORMAT(' TESTING 1 2 3!')
-      	END
-      @compile test
-      FORTRAN: TEST
-      TEST
-      @load test
       LINK:	Loading
-      @save test
+      @save test                                      ;SAVE the loaded program to a .EXE file
        TEST.EXE.1 Saved
       @v test.*

+**MACRO-20**
+MACRO is the assembler on TOPS-20.  Here is a simple example of a Hello World in MACRO
+       @COPY TTY:hello.mac                             ;A simple way to enter text into a file
+       title hello
+       entry output
+       search uuosym

+       /
+       output:	outstr hello
+       	monrt.
+       	end output
+       ^Z
+       @type hello.mac
+       title hello
+       entry output
+       search uuosym
+       hello:	asciz /Hello there.
+       /
+       output:	outstr hello
+       	monrt.
+       	end output
+       @compile hello
+       MACRO:	hello
+       EXIT
+       @load hello
+       LINK:	Loading
+       @save hello
+        HELLO.EXE.1 Saved
+       @<smj>hello
+       Hello there.
