Reply to I've been fooling around with this and I lose "stuff"
(I was logged out - so I'm going to try and repeat what I just wrote....) When I was going to create a new project I would create an empty directory, I didn't realize that Xcode did the same thing for probably the same reason. I was looking around old projects, I found code under the Source Code Control Navigator(??), eventually I decided to start a new project ... again. I wonder what the Storyboard option under the interface list. That looks very similar to what I see when I'm looking for my code. Hmmm, I wonder if something switched the interface to Storyboard from SwiftUI? I wonder how I can switch it back?

Apparently it is running (I see an icon on the bar), but I don't see a console (this is currently a console app using files, eventually). I'm not sure it makes sense to start again - so far I have done that three or four times, each time I've stopped and then couldn't figure out to continue from where I was. What are the odds that would happen again. I need to read what you have written (I printed it out), and do some poking around.

I didn't explore the file structure much until recently. When I first started with programming on the Mac, I would start Xcode, go to File->New project, etc. I was having problems getting a start until I used ChatGPT to get started on how to program with Swift. Eventually I would stop, either by getting stuck or something else causes a pause (vacation, etc.). Some number of months later, I would start again and I couldn't find my source code - where did it go? As I said before there were multiple parts, so I started on another part. I've had the same experience multiple times, I started thinking somebody was coming over the network and deleting files, so much so I found some USB sticks and I was just going to copy the project directories to those sticks. Attached is a screen shot of what I see. readNumber (part of a method name), I was looking for the source...

I'm back - I've had Apple account password issues. Maybe I need to find out more about the IDE!
