Here is what I'm doing at the present:
***************************off web site*********************************
All this software was programmed using "Gambas3  v3.10.0" .

VERY IMPORTANT: before installing any of this software you'll need to 
have or install the newest Gambas Library and  v10 Runtime files - most 
systems will not have these very new files installed yet. You'll only 
need to do this once!

Do so via the following 3 terminal commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install gambas3-runtime

If the above command returns "TRUE" the RUNTIME files are  installed - 
if not, will give you the option to install.
*************************************************************************
If anyone knows how to improve this = that would be great!
