Ok, Thx.
I did read the Mono stuff before, it was the closest hit when googling for a solution.
But I'ts not "compatible" with the course.
It's first grade, so we learn about the visul studio interface and stuff....
I guess, I'll take the bullet and use the Virtual stuff.
I'd like to thank the list for a nice reply.
BTW, for those not reading their mail/list during the hollidays... Merry Xmas & a delicious newyear ;)
