before I launch into this i want to clarify one thing

in the IDE->options->projects->directories there is a place
to specify where include files are located. in mine for instance I have .\;\bc5\include

so if i say #include "somefile.h" it searches the current directory first, then the help file says it then searches in the directories specified with the Include (-I) option.
does this place to put the include directores represent a graphical way of specifying (-I) and if so can i put in the include box .\;\bc5\include;\bc5\include\mystandardinclude, so that if i have a file called msi.h in that directory and I say
#include "msi.h" in my source then bc5 should still find this file by searching in the \bc5\include\mystandardinclude after searching
the current and standard include directories?

Hi I'm trying to make use of IXMLHTTPRequest as seen on msdn.microsoft.com.
so i have my header and my dll and my lib files
I've implibed the msxml.dll to get msxml.lib which I have included into my project.  and included the msxml.h file.
When I compile i get a whole bundle of errors until the compiler
complains with too much errors....

The errors are below
***
Warn :msxml.h(397,20):Style of function definition is now obsolete
Error:msxml.h(397,21):) expected
***
.... they are many of these

They occur in msxml.h in most cases at declarations like this...

#if defined(__cplusplus) && !defined(CINTERFACE)
    
    MIDL_INTERFACE("2933BF8F-7B36-11d2-B20E-00C04F983E60")
    IXMLDOMImplementation : public IDispatch
    {
    public:
        virtual /* [id] */ HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE hasFeature( 
            /* [in] */ BSTR feature,
            /* [in] */ BSTR version,
            /* [retval][out] */ VARIANT_BOOL *hasFeature) = 0;
        
    };
    
#else 	/* C style interface */

    typedef struct IXMLDOMImplementationVtbl
    {
        BEGIN_INTERFACE  

.... and it goes on describing the c style interface until this 
particluar interface ends below
#endif 	/* C style interface */

They are many of these declarations in this .h file so errors are occurning where ever there is one....
