The 'integrated environment', where you do a SHIFT-F% while in the editor,
to compile and run, has a very limited library.  The modules available are 
listed in the book somewhere.
If you get an 'unresolved external', put the cursor on the function name and
F1.  If you get a 'help' screen, then you have a function that QuickC knows
about ( no typos, etc. ). ESC to clear the help screen.
ALT F L to 'make a program list'.  Supply a name for the make file, usually
the same as the program name (it will end with .mak)  Then enter the name of 
the source module.  ALT-S to save this.
Now Shift-F5 will compile as before, but it will link with the standard set
of libraries.  It takes longer than before.
