IIgs registry?



I just got a copy of Orca/C for Christmas.  And it's giving me some major
headaches.

First, I tried to compile the standard "Hello, world" program.  It ran fine
under the test window, but gave me this error when I tried to run the
executable under GS/OS:

The application "" cannot be found for this document.

Hmm, I thought.  Maybe I set the compile options wrong.  So I played with all
the options, to no avail.  I tried to run one of the pre-compiled samples, the
"Quick" benchmark, just to see what would happen.  I got the same error.  So I
tried registering the file to itself.  That seemed to work.  The program
executed in a text window, and returned me to the desktop.  I tried to run
another sample, but it executed the "Quick" program again.  Apparently, all the
Orca/C compiled programs are looking for Quick now, trying to pass themselves
as a parameter to the benchmarker.

I deleted the entire Orca installation, and reinstalled under a different
directory.  Then I tried to run another sample program.  I got a similar
message this time:

The application "quick" cannot be found for this document.

It looks like I've screwed up some kind of registry.  How can I fix this
problem, and how am I supposed to compile programs to execute themselves under
GS/OS?  The Orca manual provided no help that I could find.  I'm an experienced
C/C++ programmer, but I'm still very new to the IIgs.  Any help would be
appreciated.

thanks,
