Hi everybody new programmer here.

(If this is a bad place to ask about FreeRIDE specifically then let me  
know.)

Well I’m using FreeRide for WindowXP. I type F5 to run.

If there are no errors the program runs fine. Happy.

If there ARE errors the windows console closes up instantaniously and I  
can’t examine the errors. The only cure is when I hand-type the command  
line from an independent console window, thus defeating the purpose of  
using an IDE.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Zach
