This is a very general statement that is not going to help improving
what you see as a flaw. Try to point specifically to what needs to be
improved, and say how you would like it improved, for example by
submitting your explanation or a pattern for it. Keep in mind, though,
that the manual documents the GNU Prolog compiler, not the language
Prolog itself.

Did you google ? Anyway, here is a very simple example to help you get started:

nicolas@tamago:~/dev/prolog$ cat > example.pl <<EOF

nicolas@tamago:~/dev/prolog$ gplc --no-top-level --min-size --output
example example.pl
nicolas@tamago:~/dev/prolog$ ./example
Hello, world !
nicolas@tamago:~/dev/prolog$ ls -l example*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nicolas nicolas 182576 2009-05-26 14:08 example
-rw-r--r-- 1 nicolas nicolas     81 2009-05-26 14:08 example.pl

Hope this helps,
