Subject:	Hi all

Hello all!
	Well, I finally got around to installing djgpp and have great 
hope for it.  As with all new software, however, I am having trouble 
getting started.  I have read a couple faq lists, but all is still not 
clear, so hopefully, someone here can be of assistance.

	First of all, what do most people use as an editor?  I suppose I 
could use edit or any word processor, but it is exhausting exiting the 
program every time I need to compile.  When there is an error, I 
have to reenter the program and count the number of lines down to find 
it, then try to remember exactly what it was.  There has to be a better way.

	Second, where can I get a list of all the functions supported.  I 
couldn't find one in the help system, although I think I am missing some 
files.  Which brings me to my third question.  I can not get everything 
in the info program to work.  In particular, I can not get 'h' to work, 
and I feel that many of my questions could be answered if I could just 
go through that beginner get to know you option once.

	Finally, a question that may or may not fit here, but, since I am 
fitting it in at the end with a whole bunch of legitimate questions, 
might as well.  How do I learn about flat mode assembly programming.  I 
obtained a compiler with a dos extender for the purpose of being able to 
write a couple of assembly routines that would use all memory.

	Well, that you.  I look forward to many months (or years) of 
constructive discussions about djgpp.
