On the New Project Settings dialog, enter the settings as listed below:

• In the Component name text block enter the component name magicdemo. Press the Tab key to move to the Class name text block.
• Enter magic for the class name.
• The version has a default of 1.0. Leave this number unchanged.
• The Project directory field contains a default of a combination of the directory where COM Builder was started and the Component name, magicdemo. You can change this to any directory that you choose. If the directory you choose does not exist, you will be asked to create it.
• Select C as the code to compile in.
• Leave all Compiler options unselected.

The New Project Settings dialog now looks like Figure 4-2.
