Roger: Ok, James H. may have my tutorials on getting started but I'll get you going anyhow. So, all joking aside what do you want to do? ...and what version are you using?

I've downloaded Eclipse and got hold of an Eclipse guide from one kind person on this list. So now I'm hoping to start with Eclipse. I've started reading the guide and clicked OK where suggested to allow the workspace in the default location in My Documents. The guide states to click an arrow to look at what other things are open. Please excuse my lack of clarity. The only thing is that I have no such arrow as far as I can tell. I'm using Jaws9 with XP Home and also hope to use Eclipse on my Macbook. So the big question, can anyone please give me a step by step guide on what exactly to do to get started. After clicking OK as above, the window closes and clicking Eclipse.exe again just does the same as previous. Many thanks Roger
