1. Every time you tell the IDE to run a program, it cimpiles it to a .exe into the same folder that the sourcecode was loaded from. Selecting "build" from the pulldown menu in the IDE will create a .exe without running it.

2. Blitz3D doesn't have native windwos GUI commands built-in, but there are some 3rd party sources that will create in-game GUI stuff. You may be able to find something in the code archives on this forum.

3. You can combine multiple sources together using import/include. If you're trying to have your final .exe be able to load a .bb and run it: You're out of luck, you need the compiler for that and it's not part of the compiled .exe itself, it doesn't know how to convert other .bb files into .exes.
