Hey, I have Borland C++ builder 5.02. What I am asking is this; when I open a text edit and run a program its always runs in dos. But if instead I open a new project instead, of text edit, and make it a easywin.exe it works. So i was wondering if this was the only way to do this. Or mabay you could tell me about a better builder. I''m only 15 so I dont have the money for a big shot compiler.

Easywin is a windows wrapper library around console applications. You may (I haven''t used BC++ in the past 3 years) have the option to create a windows (not easywin) application. Programming such an application is different from and ''a bit'' more difficult than console applications, since you have to cater to windows'' demands (message loops, resources...)
