Hi Ron,
here is what I could make out of it. I supposed your problem is of the
form 

y'[t] + y[t] == 1 - E^t*Integrate[y[tau]/E^tau, {tau, t0, t}]

where t0 is your initial point (that is, known). Then:

In[1]:= eq1 = y'[t] + y[t] == 1 - E^t*Integrate[y[tau]/E^tau, {tau, t0,
t}]; 

In[2]:= eq2 = D[eq1, t];

In[3]:= eq3 = Eliminate[{eq1, eq2}, Integrate[y[tau]/E^tau, {tau, t0,
t}]]

Out[3]= y''[t] == -1

In[4]:= {sol} = DSolve[eq3, y, t]

Out[4]= {{y -> (C[1] + C[2]*#1 - #1^2/2 & )}}

In[5]:= Simplify[eq1 /. sol]

Out[5]= -(1/2)*E^(t - t0)*(t0^2 - 2*t0*(-1 + C[2]) - 2*(-1 + C[1] +
C[2])) == 0

In[6]:= {C2} = Solve[t0^2 - 2*t0*(-1 + C[2]) - 2*(-1 + C[1] + C[2]) ==
0, C[2]]

Out[6]= {{C[2] -> -((-2 - 2*t0 - t0^2 + 2*C[1])/(2*(1 + t0)))}}

In[7]:= sol = sol /. C2

Out[7]= {y -> (C[1] - ((-2 - 2*t0 - t0^2 + 2*C[1])*#1)/(2*(1 + t0)) -
#1^2/2 & )}

In[8]:= Simplify[eq1 /. sol]

Out[8]= True
