Hi Jesse, just being curious and googling a bit resulted in this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2506400/how-to-compile-and-run-c-files-from-within-notepad-using-nppexec-plugin That should do the trick for you and anyone in a programming course. If your programs get more complex you better switch to am makefile and use a tool like cmake since you'll not have to enter every source code and object file over and over again.
