Copying Libraries

Hello

What is the difference between a library and a header file?

Is there a way to copy a library, already imported into a previous program, into a new program?

I am programming for the Olimax Nokia LCD, and am confused by the different versions, so I would like to be able to re-use the one I have already imported, and that I know works.

An even better alternative would be to copy the library into my workspace so that I do not have to import it again, every time I start a new program.

Hello again

Of course (Murphy's law) as soon as I posted that I discovered that 'drag and drop' works if I do it properly, red faced apologies.
