Sorry I missed your post until now; I scan message topics looking for something
with "IDE" in it.....

IDE is not part of the Win32lib package if you are looking for IDE there.

If you downloaded Enhanced IDE you click ide.exw from the zip. If you downloaded
EuVide then you find the folder Andy places IDE, Program Files\Euphoria, unless
you change the destination and click ide.exe. I recommend the EuVide package
because you don't need either Win32lib nor IDEwin32lib if you just want to
explore what IDE does for you and you are not ready to generate and run a
program.

However, if you want to run a program created by IDE, you will then need either
Win32lib v60.6 or IDEwin32lib and you want to place the contents of one of these
either in Euphoria\Include or a folder pointed to by EuINC. If you need
information about EuINC look in the Euphoria docs.

If you are not familiar with Windows[tm] programming but only Dos, IDE might not
make much sense when you first look at it but ask questions and either I or
someone else will respond.
