Assuming special edition comes with the IDE, select "File>New Project" from the menu and then add your files to the project. Once the project has been created and sources have been inserted into the project you can compile, build, run, etc. Your sources can be anywhere on the system. I don't know wht athe .iff, .xrc, and other files are, but they are used by the compiler and you generally don't have to deal with them directly.
