newbie needs help starting projects with Borland IDE

I am in need of help using Borland starter kit 3.0.  The problem I am
having is in developing my own projects.  I can write a program with the
main program, class declaration, and implementation all in one file, but
I haven't been able to figure out how to break them up into separate
files and build it up and saving it all as a project.  Can anyone help,
or point me to a good source of help on the Borland IDE in
general?..............Thanks........

Um, I am not aware of any Borland product named Starter Kit (or anything
close). And the term "IDE" merely refers to the interface of a programming
language. Borland has or had a number of different IDEs, each different,
for the products: Delphi/C++Builder (same IDE), JBuilder, Visual dBASE, and
Paradox. Can you be more specific about the particular product used?
Perhaps the About dialog would indicate this. What language is the
programming in?

Select File|New application

Select Project | add to project.  Add the files you created to your project.

Select Project | Options.  Pick the form you want to be the master form.

Select Save Project As..  Save your project.

Now when you open the project all your code will open with it.

Hint:

You should ALWAYS start off programming in delphi using the File|New
application or File|Open project.  that way you have something you can run.
I have a very generic project I call Testharness that allows me to code and
test components or small items.
