Here's some things I think would be good to have in the IDE:

1.  The most important thing is the most *general* idea:
a user should be able to write any Win32Lib program *directly and
completely* within the IDE;

2.  should also be able to *import* any .exe *into* the IDE to work it up
further;
(Theo's idea!)

3.  would be good to be able to *view and specify* the *position* of
routines created while using the IDE, so they don't cause conflicts with
each other or errors because of their order of declaration in the program;

4.  should be able to handle ERRORS *within* the IDE (ie, maybe read ex.err,
and at least reference to the routines which contain the failing line
number);

5.  improved editor (maybe forego keyboard input syntax colorization in
favor of using RichEdit, or someone find a way to use both?)

6.  ability to create and work with *includes* in the IDE;

7.  might be interesting to be able to view a list of all variables used,
where used, and whether global or local;

8.  and (not necessarily) last, but not least, maybe more people helping in
its continued development?  For instance, pick some feature you would like
to see in it, look at how the IDE program is constructed, and write code to
either add that feature, or to demo it.
