If that is how the project window in the IDE looks then highlight the 
iolib.h line and press the delete key to remove the line.  Header 
files are part of the project because of the #include in code and 
should not be listed as a project source file.

As for when you are working from the command line or in a make file:

The -I option (capital 'i') specifies the path to search for include 
files.  While that allows you to say something like
  -Ic:\borlandc\include;.\inc
on the command line that is a lot of typing.

An easier way might be to copy the compiler's cfg file (BCC.CFG if I 
remember correctly) from the compiler's BIN directory to the project 
directory.  Rename it to something else, perhaps to your project's 
name, to avoid confusion.  Make alterations as you like to it such as 
added include paths (remember, multiple paths for the -I option are 
separated by semicolons).  Then specify that on the command line.

For example, if the project config file is MYPROJ.CFG then the command 
line to bcc would start with

  bcc +myproj.cfg

and the rest of the command would follow the cfg file name.

Side note:
In the comments in the make file I posted the target file is sometimes 
given as source1.exe  I had missed that you wanted the target to be 
abc.exe and when I corrected that error at the end, I missed a couple 
of occurances in the comments.  They should be abc.exe and not 
source1.exe
