REMARKS: 

(1) Here is how to get into command mode:

    a) Using old versions of Windows:  [Start][All Programs][Accessories][Command Prompt]

    b) Using Wondows 10: [Start][All Apps][Windows System][Command Prompt]
                     OR: You may ask Cortana to "Open Command Prompt".

(2) If you get the message "Access is denied" when you try to save the file, click on
    "Reference-Desktop" and read the section titled:
    "GETTING THE MESSAGE 'ACCESS IS DENIED" WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SAVE A FILE'".

If you have reached this point successfully, we would like to congratulate you. You
should have no problem with any other example or with writing your own programs at
the end.

Practice with each example, read all tutorials. They have been designed to teach you
how to use PC# software step by step. So you must study all the examples in order. 
Don't move to the next example before you fully understand the current one.

We recommend printing a copy of the "PC# Reference" and "PC# Methods". Keep them by your
side. Whenever you find something unclear, look through them to find the answer.

PC# methods and field names are made to be as few, short and easy to remember as possible.
After some practice, you will be able to write programs which run without errors on the
first try. Enjoy your new programming experience!

IMPORTANT REMARK CONCERNING THE USE OF NOTEPAD:
===================================================

Before we get into that, you need to make sure that your computer shows all files 
with their extensions. Click on [Start] [(My) Computer], then:

(1) If you have Windows XP: Click on the [tools] tab and select [Folder Options].
(2) If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click on [Organize] then on [Folder and Search Options].
(3) If you have Windows 10: Open File Explorer (You may do so by pushing [Windows][E] on your
     keyboard) Click on the [File] tab and select "Change folder and search options".

When the "Folder Options' window appears, click on the "View" tab and locate the item
"Hide extensions for known file types". Make sure this item is "UNCHECKED" then click
on [OK].

Now, whenever you save a file like "a.cs" from Notepad, the "File save" dialog box
always appears with "Save as type = Text Documents", you must change that option to
"All Files". Then you should type "a.cs" into the "File name" text field and click on
"Save".

If you forget to change the "Save as type", you will save the file under the name
"a.cs.txt" which is not what you want.

MOVING TO WEB DEVELOPMENT:
==============================

After going through all the "Desktop application examples" and the "Desktop
Applications Reference", you may move to Web development. Click on the link at the
top to go there.
