I have downloaded ide, new win32, and complete edition 2.4. When opening an
existing .prj, ide just closes.
I know you all are busy with 2.5. Please have mercy on a newbie!

Joe,
Can you start the IDE by itself without opening a specific project?

I for one believe IDE is overrated it's just a tool generating code.
Don't get too hung up all it's feachers.
1.)Just create all the controls for your program (don't worry too much about
placement).
2.)Launch you program/prj from the !Launch menu.
It will create a .exw and .prj file with the same name
3.)Run and rerun the .exw untill you get all the placement right manually
by changing the code in the .exw file.
If you want to add a new control rerun IDE and create that control only.
!Launch and copy that line into your program.

I must admit, there is a bit of a learning curve to Win32Lib, but once
you start to get it, it becomes really easy. I can code a complete app
from the ground up in a matter of minutes/hours with just a basic
editor and Win32Lib. If I use the IDE to poke around and swap between
individual control code, it would take me longer. I suggest playing
around with the IDE for a while, but examine the code it generates and
pay attention, as you learn, you'll be able to write your own Win32Lib
code.
