i knew that, it only came in handly in a copy-paste kindda way. thanks.

thanks for the info, it seems simpler this way for i used a gcc-ld-wc 
session for making the executable.

the sample helloWorld code was meant to see one of the code snipets 
where i found the defines.h included.

it's not a bigdeal, i wanted the general defines.h file because i think 
it contains alot of goodies that i'd like to take a look at, and use in 
future apps.

thanks again Bob!
