The PowerBuilder environment

When you start PowerBuilder for the first time, the Welcome to PowerBuilder dialog box lets you create a new workspace with or without targets:

The Welcome to PowerBuilder dialog offers options to Create a new workspace, and also create a new target or add an existing one. You can also open an existing workspace or close the dialog. At the bottom are check boxes labeled Don’t show this dialog again and Reload last workspace on starting Power Builder.

When PowerBuilder starts, it opens in a window that contains a menu bar and the PowerBar at the top and the System Tree and Clip window on the left. The remaining area will display the painters and editors you open when you start working with objects.
