Yestrday I downloaded processing 1.0.6.zip and wiTHOUT ANY INSTALL DIRECTIONS,
I unzipped it to [Program files], started with DbleKlik
takes a while to get going,
displayed: File Edit Sketch...
single Klik File and get EMPTY box, no text to select
mousing around shows inverse vid selection, and eventually some text,
starting "examples >"
mousing around now shows some text, and next selection of File shows all (SOMETIMES!)
edit is blank though
