the proper way would be to have a program named as the filename.
Now, in your case, you can

1) compile the file and type "tutorial1" in the command line
or 2) write a small procedure called "tut1" that calls "tutorial1". Make
sure that this procedure is the last one in your file (at the bottom of
the file)
