OK, so now I can create/design a dialog box, but how do I put 
it into my program. There should be a basic, step-by-step 
tutorial for beginners like me. If there is, where is it?

Following is what I’ve got so far . . .

FILE|NEW|PROJECT.
project path/name - c:\bc5\bin\dialog1.ide
target name - dialog1
target type - application
platform - Win32
platform  model - GUI

then I click OK 

in project I click “dialog1.rc” 
I double click “identifiers” and I get a 3 widow screen
I go up and click RESOURCE|NEW
I click on “DIALOG” and I get a dialog box to add to and arrange 
(I think  I’ve got this figured out). When I’m done creating the 
dialog box, I click FILE|SAVE, then FILE|CLOSE.

I then have a  3 widow screen named “dialog1.rc : identifiers.” 
The left window shows the name of the dialog box I just created -
“dialog1.rc”, and the middle window shows the elements I just 
added to the dialog box - “IDC_EDIT1, IDC_EDIT2, IDC_EDIT3, 
IDC_GROUPBOX1, and IDD_DIALOG1”. The right window 
shows “IDD_DIALOG1” 

At this point I know I have to do something, but I don’t know 
what it is.
