I have programmed in c and c++ for years but I am just introducing
myself to the Windows API and MFC.

I started on MFC with this tutorial

http://www.codersource.net/samples/mfc_tutorial_5.zip

To make a long story short ... I edited a dialog box resource, saved
it, then went through the class wizard to create a new class.
Basically step by step through that web page. It generated
NewDialog.cpp and NewDialog.h, but didn't generate stdafx.h or
script3.h . (The resource is named script3).

The project is quite primitive and does not use or need stdafx.h. If you
are getting an error message about stdafx.h then go into the project
settings, find the precompiled header choices, and select 'not using
precompiled header.'

The project settings and file names are pretty standardized in MFC, but that
only happens if you use the File, New application wizard to start the
project. Your tutorial did not do things this way.

If you can find a copy of 'Programming Windows with MFC' by Prosise it will
help you a lot. This oldie but goodie book uses VC6 for all the examples.
