One way is to run Dylan Playground and type the commands in the
interactor.

What was the result that it gave? Was it an error or 'No values'. If
the latter it may be because you used no spaces between the
numbers. Try '2 + 2;'.

It looks like it is now fdce.exe. Try this in the
examples\console\hellow-world directory (Type each line at the
prompts, starting with the DOS prompt):
fdce
open hello-world.hdp
build
interact
2 + 2;
=> $0 = 4 (displayed by Dylan)
:quit (to exit)
The same commands should work from Tools/Command Line in the
GUI. There is also a fdbc.exe which is a command line compiler that
gives some interesting statistics during the compilation process.
Generally I believe you need to be interacting with a project to be
able to evaluate Dylan expressions. I usually create a project which
uses the libraries and modules I want to play with (like COM and
OLE-AUTOMATION for example) and then interact that project.
Hope that helps,
Chris.
