no text on LCD

[malc-c]

so far so good untill i select quick build.
it says (no.asm file)
do i have to upload the file to it somehow?
if i click open it will only let me load an .mcp file

So let me confirm that you have pasted the text into that window, then saved it to the root of C: as an asm file ( don't just click on save as it will default to the first file format in the list). If there is text in that window, and its saved as an asm file, its hilighted, then there should be no reason why the project won't quick build, or at least none that I can see
