Virtually anywhere you want, as long as djgpp will have access to that
directory (but not c:\dev).  Usually you would create a directory for
each project, a common choice is to keep projects under a main
subdirectory, such as c:\src, c:\code or even c:\c.

There's nothing to stop you doing that, but it's probably a bad idea.

Use the `cd' command.  For example:  cd c:\code

The directory where you saved the source code.

Well, I hope that helps.  :-)

Note that if you find that you *need* to be in the same directory as
the compiler (c:\djgpp\bin), it means that your installation is not
right.  Check the readme.1st file and the first section of the FAQ.
