Okay, I've uninstalled it and then reinstalled it at d:\coco\portal-9.
I've been able to get it to build... I just found the button on the side
bar. It's been getting covered up by a small window that keeps on moving
itself over the build button. :( I didn't notice this until today. (That
window is keeping itself above all other windows, no matter if it's the
Portal-9 window or something else. It's annoying.)

It's still doing that with the latest version that you posted up on
coco3.com. Something else I've been having problems with is that for
some odd reason Portal-9 keeps on overwriting the configuration file on
every start of Portal-9. This means that all of my options and paths are
being reset on every startup. To get around this, I edited the file then
I marked it read-only.

If I run into anything else, I'll let you know. Until then, I'm pretty
impressed with the build feature. I like it alot... Now I have to finish
learning 6809ASM.  :)
