Don't use Notepad to edit your source code.  It will append a ".txt"
extension on your file even if you put a ".c" extension on it.  So you
will wind up with a file named "name.c.txt".  If you don't have "Show
filename extensions" checked in your Explorer options, you won't see
it.  You can get Notepad to save a filename as you typed it if you set
the file type dropdown list to "All Types (*.*)" before you type in
the filename, but that's too much of a hassle.  Use a real editor like
PFE or something, if you don't want to use RHIDE.
