In the Environment go to the Options Menu and change the files.  You
can place all directories that the IDE should look for files (your .HLP
etc.).

To compile any TVisions file you will have this problem.  They are
huge.  What you want the IDE to do is compile and execute from disk instaed
of memory.  Again, go to the OPTIONS menu and choose compiler options.
You'll see it.
