I can cover these first three:

1) the IDE is NOT a true Windows application.  It's nearly identical to the 
   IDE in Turbo C++, with the addition of several new compiler options.

2) the IDE will work just fine in a DOS window, and that is the recommended
   way to use it.

3) the debugger IS a Windows app, but it doesn't run in a window (go figure)

Also, Borland ships a bunch of neat Windows development utilities with the
new C++ that put the Windows SDK tool to shame.
