--------------------------###--------------------------
unit main;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

interface

procedure kocsi_olvas(hogy_mit: char; marka: string; tipus: string);

uses
   Classes, SysUtils, LResources, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, 
ExtCtrls,
   StdCtrls, Buttons, Menus;

type
   TForm1 = class(TForm)

.....
....
...
..
.
--------------------------###--------------------------

No, I don't have, but I put it under the Interface section, and when 
trying to build, I get this:

--------------------------###--------------------------
TOutputFilter: "Compiling main.pas"
TOutputFilter: "main.pas(8,1) Fatal: Syntax error, "IMPLEMENTATION" 
expected but "USES" found"
--------------------------###--------------------------

I tried to put that ( procedure kocsi_olvas(hogy_mit: char; marka: 
string; tipus: string); ) line under the 'public', 'private' and 
'implementation' section in main.pas, but I get the

TOutputFilter: "test.pas(55,12) Error: Identifier not found "kocsi_olvas""
TOutputFilter: "test.pas(55,46) Error: Illegal expression"

lines every time.

Any idea?
