Throughout the book there are several mentions of different configurations that can be changed, and the book often provides the instructions to change that configuration in the Windows IDE; however, most of the time there is no GUI equivalent in RIDE.

It would probably be a good idea to add a section, or an appendix, or something, that teaches the generics of how to set up the Windows IDE and RIDE, and include a few example configurations.

Things that could be covered include the Windows registry, environment variables, .dcfg configuration files, the RIDE pane where you set flags, etc.

Such a section/appendix is relevant because there are places where it isn't obvious how to set up RIDE to match a Windows IDE configuration.

For example, in Data and Variables – The Libraries the reader is taught how to add more paths to the WS search path through the GUI on Windows, but there's no immediate way of doing the same thing with RIDE's GUI.
