It's a subtle difference, but you need to use double underscores:

     DEFINE __main=__tinymain

No, it isn't documented that way.  There's a typo in the manual.  I had to 
write Lattice about it.  My manual doesn't say anything about it on page G32.  
In my manual the erroneous documentation is on page L264.  I have version 5.05.

Another way to achieve the same result is to recompile main with the
preprocessor symbol "TINY" defined.  The source is in umain.c in the source
directory of disk 4 of your original distribution.
