So the computer was to blame then? I used Borland C++ Builder (I got it free
on a magazine cover disk) extensively at colleg and Uni on my moderate home
PC and it ran fine, nothing like you mention above.

Did you try to do it manually, or use the Rename command? If you tried to
do it manually then I can understand things going wrong.

Ermm, Project -> Add Existing Item works perfectly every time for me. What
went wrong?

You can do either, and you can choose whether it will indent the brackets or
not if you put them on their own line.

I've never made any multi-file projects, but I would be very surprised if
you couldn't set what is run. And even if you couldn't you just add a
post-build event to run the executable you want.

Sounds to me like someone just didn't know how to do it the correct way.
