I am having trouble deleting a basic program from the editor, how do you do that ?
There's no built-in command in the BB4W IDE to delete a program file, just use any of the many ways to do it from Windows. If your machine is configured to hide file extensions, you may prefer to enable them so that you can easily see which are the .BBC and .BAS files.
Probably the fewest keystrokes is to click on the Load button in the toolbar, find and select the file you want to delete, and then press the Delete key (that will send it to the recycle bin; hold down Shift to delete it permanently). Then you can cancel the dialogue.
Another, rather geeky, way to do it is to open the Immediate Mode window (toolbar button that looks like a keyboard) and then type *delete filename at the > prompt.
Deleting a program won't automatically remove it from the 'Recent Files' list, but if you try to load it (which will of course fail) it will then be removed from the list.
