Cannot seem to edit source code in the IDDE.
When I first open a project the source seems to
be protected and I cannot edit.  However if I open
a new window I can edit.

Looked in FAQ, lessons but cannot find what I need
to do.  Is there a toggle or something?

Check to see if the source file itself is marked read-only (a file attribute). Use the win32 ATTRIB command to change the read-only attribute.

Walter, fixed the problem.  In the Project window
I right clicked the source file, and changed the
option from "read only" to "read/write".  New it
was there somewhere!!!

Thanks again for your help. Im impressed with ditialmars compiler.  Its excellent value for money.

Kind regards

You can also use the ReadOnly shell extension - available for free from http://shellext.com - from within the Explorer shell.

Yours blushing with the blatant self-aggrandisement
