I added my data file (a text file) to the Data section of the project during design time because that's what I thought the Data section was for. What is the purpose of associating a data file containing numerical information with a project by putting it on the list? It sounds like I must access the data in exactly the same way whether or not the file is listed, by processing the file resident in the filing system. So why don't I just leave it out of the project? What's the point of listing it? Why list anything in the Data section of a GAMBAS project? Is the only purpose to make sure listed files are included in a source archive or an installation package for the project? By adding a tab in the IDE with the data parsed and displayed, it looks like it has the same status as the form and class tabs (that is, it contains information resident in the project). But I guess not. I'm a GAMBAS beginner, so please be patient with my questions. I'm still learning. I can't find an answer to this question in documentation or books that I've checked. In fact, I can't find anything written anywhere that explains the purpose of the Data section of a project in the GAMBAS IDE.
