The interpreter loads in memory the files generated by the compiler, and then 
executes them, as needed. The functions and sub you have typed in the editor 
became "gambas p-code". The gambas p-code is like an assembler that can be 
interpreted by the gambas interpreter only. Nothing is transformed into C++, 
nor executed directly by the processor.

I hope it is now clearer for you. My common english is too poor to explain 
that correctly.
