Hi guys, some help please.

A while back I downloaded and installed Julia Studio and wrote 10-20 little 
programs in it.  I found it quite good but now it's been discontinued of 
course.

So I'm looking at Juno, but man I find it hard to use.  I've read a bit on 
here about it, but I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.  I'd 
very much appreciate some help with this:

These are pretty basic questions, so please don't flame me.  I'm on Windows 
10, 64 bit.

1) Every time I start Juno, it tells me a new binary version of LightTable 
(LT) is available and do I want to download it.  It doesn't sort of update 
automatically, just opens a link to the download site for LT.  So then I'm 
unclear as to what to do, I can download the LT binary but then what?  I 
have Juno, which is on top of LT, how to upgrade the underlying LT 
version?  Or should I just not worry about it?

2) Also, how would I upgrade the underlying Julia language to the latest 
version please?  In another site, I saw how to use versioninfo, it shows 
3.10.

3) There seem to be very few commands available via the menu, but lots and 
lots via Ctrl-space.  I find this quite different to most IDEs.  Is this 
just the way LT works? And just a matter of getting used to it?  If so, I'm 
OK with that.

4) The workflow pattern I normally like to use with other languages like 
Python is to write my code in scripts and then run from a console, 
preferably all within an IDE.  So I use Spyder for Python and find it very 
good.  I'd like to use Juno the same way.  As opposed to say having a text 
editor open to code in, and a separate console window to run files from 
etc.  Do people use Juno like this? i.e. like a standalone thing?

Any help appreciated.
