<DIV>I've not seen the whole of your message yet; I've received multiple truncated copies.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Recall that CM3IDE is the open-source version of "Reactor". Reactor was tightly woven into the CM3 4.1 commercial release. During the install process, cm3install actually adjusted the cm3.cfg file to reflect the installation location, location of your preferred browser, preferred editor, etc. I know you don't use cm3install, and you've made changes to the cm3.cfg files, so if some of this stuff isn't going to be there going forward, I need to make adjustments to CM3IDE.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When CM3IDE runs, if it doesn't find these variables in the cm3.cfg file, it tries to locate the appropriate stuff, hence the "CAUTION" messages you saw on stdout. In some cases, it asks the same type question that cm3install would have asked about the editor et al, then saves this information in its configuration file located in the user's home folder. Once the info is saved, it won't prompt you for it again.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The error you are getting about the examples folder is probably due to you not copying this folder into your CM3 tree. There are README files explaining all this. If you don't have the examples folder, CM3IDE will still function, except you won't be able to build any of the examples. The examples are all pretty neat IMO, and CM3IDE actually builds them in your private workspace, so you can edit the sources and play around with them without affecting anyone else who wants to try out the examples. Each user gets a fresh copy from the examples folder.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not sure about the crash you are reporting, whether it is due to some problem with your cm3.cfg or your installation or just a bug. I don't experience this crash on Windows, but I have not rebuilt CM3IDE against the latest source tree yet. Perhaps a recent change to the source tree has impacted CM3IDE.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm supposed to go rafting and camping this weekend with my son's Boy Scout troop, so I don't think I'll have much time to work on this problem. If I get back early, I'll try to look at the problem Sunday evening.</DIV>
