    I'm using precompiled GnuCOBOL 3.2 64-bit on Windows 11. I can compile a program from OpenCOBOL IDE and it runs fine from a Command prompt. When I try to run it from the OpenCOBOL IDE Run command, though, it opens a new copy of OpenCOBOL IDE and tries to edit the .exe file in that instead of opening a terminal and executing the file. I used to be able to run programs but I don't know what changed. I have the Run in external terminal box checked since I use a lot of SCREEN commands. What could be causing this?

      It also happens to me when I open a Cobol source by clicking on the .COB file from resource explorer.
      However, if I run opencobolIDE first and then open the .COB file from OpencobolIDE this problem does not arise.
      I do not know the reason.

    Instead of OpenCobolIDE I use Geany, a powerful, stable and lightweight programmer's text editor.
