How come when I click build, it makes an EXE?

Every time I build an include file to check for errors, it's gonna make an EXE on me?

Because you can only build to executables (beside modules).

Okay, well then I guess I should ask why there is no option to do a test build where the EXE is deleted automatically after confirming there were no compile errors.

This is as far as it got last time it was mentioned.

That would be more of a `Test` option, rather than a BUILD option. It means build an executable. Only diff with build and run is that the exe is executed.

I've pretty much given up hope of seeing my request ( that Tony linked to ) filled, but I must agree that an option to either build to memory or simply clean up after itself would be preferable.
