==== Directory name ====
It's my understanding the name of the directory in which the text file is created will be used as the name of the .exe file. I don't see that noted in the "(Plain) Console HelloWorld" or the "Plain Graphical HelloWorld" section.

==== .exe Portability ====
I had another thought, but have not taken the time to confirm this. It seems to me, the resulting .exe is standalone. That is, it does not require the IDE as a runtime. One could move the new .exe to another Windows machine and run it successfully.

: Well, I just took the time to find out.
: One CAN move the .exe and run it on another machine just using the Microsoft Windows capabilities. I even ran it from a shortcut on my desktop.
: I don't, yet, have access to [https://www.WineHQ.org | Wine] or another Windows look alike, but that might be an interesting experiment.
