[lazarus] Win32 Installer/Lazarus

[Delores Benner]

OK, 
 
I've been lurking around and I just d/l'd the Win32 installer 
and installed it...  Installation went smooth!  Fine, and 
good.
 
However, I fired up Lazarus and got the IDE and was wondering 
if there is way to accomplish three things?
 
First,  What flags do I have to set to turn off seeing 
all those DOS Command Prompt messages when firing up Larazus.exe? (And also to 
not see same messages for every button click?
 
Second, I can Open and Save a file, but I seem not to get any 
editor when selecting New?  (This applies to other menu choices as well, 
such as New Project.)
 
Third, Once I have written and saved source changes, *HOW* do 
I invoke the compiler from the IDE menu bar?!?
