That is the same as my installation (except that I am running Windows
95).  The "i686..." part is what you should have.

Yes, that is exactly what was happening to me...

>>>Argument required (target name) try 'help target'

...until I actually read the 'help target' section of the online
documentation.  That led me to the...

>Verify that the Target is set to EXEC in the Target Selection area ...

At this point our paths diverge.  Try selecting EXEC again.  Once I did
that the RUN icon in the Source Windows works every time.  What is
strange is that if I go back to select EXEC the window is blank!  I
would think that EXEC should always appear there until set to some other
value.  I think that's a bug.

Perhaps there's some small feature that is different between our setups.
Before I found the EXEC help suggestion I always had to type RUN into
the Console Window.  It was very cumbersome.  Perhaps you're stuck with
that option until the next revision of the software.
