Sir, Under the handling files topic, trying to compile the addressbook example you gave, am I to put them all in one file and save as address book? or each is a different module is saved in different files?
I have attached for your correction what I did, please let me know if it is wrong and then point out my mistakes. I'll have a look at that topic again and make sure I fix whatever correction you point out for me. Thank You.
