Compiling Win32 executable

Hi,
I'm working on a project for one of my classes for which I would like to get
an executable file from my code, a simple .EXE.

I've looked through the samples in the SF directories, but I can't seem to
work it out- my .EXE's either do nothing at all or, in the worst case, give
an error saying that SF needs to be closed and ask if I would like to report
this to Windows.

What I would like to know is, why, when I insert

: SAVE
   ['] SAMPLE 'MAIN ! -1 THRESHOLD
   S" PROGRAM SAMPLE.EXE" EVALUATE ;

into the Sampledialog.f program (Lib-> Samples-> Win32) then run SAVE from
SF, I get an .EXE that just won't work. Is it the coding of the window,
registering the class, etc that is not being done?

And where can I find out what :PRUNE does, because I don't understand it?
...

For background-

I've written a simple program to do some ftp transfer work. It's works
really well in SF- I use a single window and the DIALOG END-DIALOG to add my
buttons and edittext boxes. It simply won't compile though, OR it spits out
an .EXE that will run once iff SF is open, then gives me the error and will
not run again (it only gives the error afterwards).

Thanks for any help, hope I was clear enough in the discription of the
problem.

PS- If this is all really simple stuff, could someone point me towards a
good source of information for figuring it out? Thanks so much!
