In Gambas 3, there is a directory named ".hidden" in the project directory. 
Only there you can put what you want. The contents of '.hidden' directory will 
not be included in the executable.

In the other places, you should use the IDE. Or you must use the IDE if you 
don't know what you are doing.

I will write a documentation about the gambas 3 project directory on the wiki.
