The Execute Menu

Current File|Execute provides a way to execute program that you have made. To use it you should first go to the Options|Execute Menu menu. There you can set the extension the program you want to run will have. So if you have just compiled a program called new.c, and you want to run new.exe, then select exe in the Execute as radio group. If you want to run a batch file, you should set Execute as to is because the program you want to execute has the same name as its source code (in fact it is the source code). If Windows cannot run the program without an external program, for instance an HTML document which is run through a web browser, then you should use the Run Menu to run the program. If you run an external program before executing the current file, then you should probably use the Save All Files in the Run Menu rather than in the Execute Menu.
