As it is now, a newcomer can start to use the IDE immediately, since the IDE creates a new project for him by default! Start the ide, and then choose run. That'll work. Easier than that is impossible. If he wants to do more, he's more advanced, and won't have any troubles in finding the 'new project' option in the menu. I aggree that we should make things as easy as possible, but out audience are developers, not first-time-computer-users. btw: remove you're 'reply to', please. else the consequence will be that I won't answer your mails anymore. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
