I remember seeing a message like "Language not available" when the language I was trying to use _was_ there. Under the compile menu (the one with options like "Compile to Disk", "Compile to memory" etc) at the bottom of the menu there are options that look like "Link..." "Compile..." etc... selecting these menu items will give you a dialog wherein it is necessary to specify the location of your compilers and such. (It apparently disregards the prefixes which are already set)... After typing in the pathname (/hd/languages and /hd/libraries or whatever) for the compiler and the libraries you should be in business.. Of course it could be something else going wrong...(BTW: after specifying the paths, hit the "set defaults" button to make them permanent.) hope this helps, Jock ihnp4!killer!jockc
