BC++ 3.1 used Project|Open to do either of open an existing project or
create a new one.  I think Project|New didn't appear until about 1994.

If the include file that isn't found is a system file, one of those supplied
by the compiler:

Have you ever heard the old adage "when everything else fails, it's time to
read the book"?  :-)

Both the manuals that came with the compiler and the help it provides tell
you how to alter the paths to the include files and to the library files.
However they should already be correct because the installation program
initializes them to the correct values.

If what you are including is your header file and not a system include then
it should be included with a directive such as this:

  #include "filename.h"

and NOT with

  #include <filename.h>

Please post the paths on your machine for the compiler and for the project
you are trying to build.
