OR: File> New project> Box (select Standard EXE)> Project window
appears
b) To add project: Any number can be added.
Project icon> Select Standard EXE> Project window appears.
Note: Usually first project runs first, but user can change that by:
Selecting project from project window > mouse list > Set as startup.
c) To open an existing project: It is previously designed and saved on
disc in a folder. File> Open project> Box (select existing and look for
the project) >
Project window
