Suggestion for a work-around:

Hello Bob,
Have you ever looked to my homepage (http://www.snafu.de/~pbsound/) or
to Dave Navarro's privat project called 'Basic Guru' (www.basicguru.com)?
That's a lousy joke Bob, or?
What do you need Bob, you think I have no license numbers ??? I have
noproblems to tell you the serial numbers of all the products of
PowerBASIC,I have: PB10016073, PB3000041250, 510123251, 511400021,
511900136(PB2.10f, 3.00, 3.10, 3.20, 3.50, PB/DLL v1.50,v2.00 or v5.00)
1) I wrote a lot of public mails in the last time, covering some
'features' of PowerBASIC. One mail of these I've sent directly to one
of your private addresses in your company. - No answer.
2) Then I wrote the same mail directly to Dave Navarro in this newsgroup
and I recieved a message, that he has recieved the first private mail
(and this again was NO CONCRETE ANSWER).
You see Bob (!), up to now I've never got any real statment of
yourcompany, that's very sad ...
Here's a mail of December about the same thread, I put into THREE
different newsgroups - no reaction came from cour company. Well
it describes the problem with the IDE a little bit better:

Write your reply.

assistant: YOu might want to check your system settings as your message
 here appeared as being from "Fane" which I suspect strongly is
 not your real name. Handles are generally not permitted in FIDO
 echos.
 PowerBASIC has released an earlier version of their product,
 version 2.x as a product called "FirstBASIC". It is shareware
 and you can obtain it from their website (www.powerbasic.com) or
 I expect from any of the standard software repositories. The
 current shipping version of PB is 3.5 and it is a commercial
 product.
 The standard DOS system from Microsoft came with QBASIC, a
 non-compiler version of BASIC.
 Generally speaking you exit from most BASIC's like GW-BASIC with
 the sommand "System". It's been quite a while since I worked in
 GW-BASIC but I seem to recall it used this "standard" method ;-)

PowerBASIC allows you to use assembler syntax in your code, however it does
not teach you how to program in assembler.  You should get a book on
ssembler
