You can always compile a source file without actually having a board physically attached. You can do a "compile only" (no upload) by clicking on the check mark icon below the File menu option. However, you must always have a board selected even if one's not attached to the system because the compiler needs some compile-time information about the processor.

That worked!
Email is a bit odd here. It comes in on the? mac in my office, and the windows machine is in the basement. They are not linked. So, got the file from the mac, put it on a flash drive, headed to the basement and did what you said. the file complied without issue, but I had to tell the IDE that I was using the MEGA. Apparently one can compile a sketch without having the hardware.
So the question is, why wasn't the morsecode.h in the file that I downloaded from this site?
