Thank you for this tip. I've done it and it put me on the road. I was 
required to download several files, until I got stuck with 
"gambas-gb-form-dialog".  This one produces a message "can't download, 
no such file or directory", whereas it is described on the Gambas site 
(SourceForge). I am still searching.

Cheers.

Charles
