Heuristic is very simple: find main(). Failing that, find the entry
point.

File->Source reads in (aks "sources") a gdb script file. Type or choose
the name of the file you want in the file combobox at the top of the
source window. Alternatively, just type in the name of the function you
want in the function combo.

There is extensive online help on using the source window. It's in need
of some cleanup, but the information is accurate.
