I think poster was indicating the got the compiler to work, not the IDE.

He was talking about adding that line to his path in Windows not within 
any IDE.

Under XP you can add things to your path (the windows it looks for 
executables when you are at a command prompt) by going to
control panels->System->Advanced->Environment Variables, then edit the 
path and add the missing item (semi-colons  between items).

You want to add a path 'like' the one the poster used but probably not 
the same one. Navigate down your gnat directory structure and add the 
path that has the gnat1.exe in it. I believe on the GNAT GPL 2006 
version  your path will be almost identical to his.
