Some IDE questions

Hello,

I'm new to the Keil tools and have a few questions.

1. Most of my projects are arranged on my hard disk in a standard hierarchical directory structure. In most IDEs I've used, I can create groups within groups in the project workspace to mimic the same hierarchical structure. However, I can't seem to get the Keil IDE to do this. It seems that all groups must be at the same level, that is, you can't create a group within a group. I can't believe that any modern IDE could be this deficient so I'm sure I'm just not understanding how to do it. So, how can I create groups within groups?

2. In the project workspace, how do I change the name of a target. Calling them Target 1, Target 2, etc. is fairly meaningless. I've tried manually editing the various files created by the IDE but that doesn't do it. And, I can't find any place within the IDE to change this name, nor am I given the option to choose a name when I initially create the project.

3. I'm trying to set up my project for a generic ARM7TDMI-S core - not Atmel or anyone else's implementation of it. However, in the Project options all I see are choices for all the various vendors that have packaged this core in one way or another. So, how do I choose a generic ARM7TDMI-S core?

I'm sure I'll have more questions later. Thanks for your help.

    You better start believing. OTOH, nobody's forcing you to use uVision. So if you don't like it, use something else.

    Just like in Windows: click on the name in the tree view, wait a bit, then click on it again, and the name becomes editable.
