Why is why a text editor isn't the best thing either - the "basics of programming" should ideally let you write code, without worrying about setting up your environment and include paths properly, getting the right commands to compile/run it, etc. You should be open up an IDE, type in some code, and hit a button to have it run, interact with the debugger, etc. martin
