Subject: Problems setting up a (free) Ada development environment

I'm trying to set up Ada on my Windows XP Pro system so I can learn Ada.
I've got the free version of GNAT, and would now like a development
environment.
I've tried AdaGIDE, but when I run it all that happens is a shell
console appears and disappears too fast for me to read what's in it.
Running from a shell just gives the same result.
Ok, can't get AdaGIDE to work, so I try the AonixADT addon for Eclipse.
To get that working I need to set up the "toolchain", but I can't find
any explanation of what a "toolchain" is. The ADT tutorial says that
"The Ada toolchain (ObjectAda, GNAT, etc.) is located at the top level
of the Ada installation - for example, C:/Program
Files/Aonix/ObjectAda." So for GNAT, maybe it's at "C:\Program
Files\gnat", which is where I've installed GNAT. Nope: "The specified
location does not contain a valid GNAT installation". Maybe "C:\Program
Files\gnat\2008"? Nope. "C:\Program Files\gnat\2008\bin"? Nope.
Could anybody help me to get either of those environments working, or
point me to one that's easier to set up and use?
Thanks.
