<< If your keyboard does not have the <Windows> key anyware try looking in the Start Menu for System Tools|System Information|Environment Variables which is another way to edit the environment variables.>> Ok, I found that. But I couldn't see any way to edit anything in the displayed information. What am I missing? I'm going to look into buying another keyboard, one with the <Windows> key. << The reason you may want to prepend and not append the folder is to avoid conflict with other Windows programs. >> Ok. However, when looking for more information about this, I saw some comments that said that prepending might cause such conflict. Any comments? Any idea where I can learn more about the issues? << If you don't know how to compile and install programs don't worry about the object libraries and developer files. >> Well, the point of my doing these things is to learn all about compiling and installing programs. So I want to learn everything I can. Here's a synopsis of what I've tried in recent weeks: installed Cygwin; installed several programs on Cygwin; tried to install "Freefont" on Cygwin, but couldn't find any excutables (Freefont has a GUI so I would expect to find them); looked at issues with installing Freefont and found a suggestion to install under MinGW; that led to finding GnuWin and such; installed MinGW and Msys; found no editor available so tried to install Vim; Vim required nucurses; couldn't install ncurses until I contacted the maintainer; finally got ncurses installed; still looking to get Vim installed properly. So the bottom line of my not finding executables is that Freefont doesn't seem to create one for its GUI -- unless I'm missing something obvious. Please note that I'm somewhat familiar with make, and using it to compile my own relatively simple C programs. I'm trying to learn more about all of this in my spare time.
