Try this:

 #include <stdio.h>

 void main()
 {
       char me[20];

      printf("What is your name?")
      scanf("%s",&me);
      printf("darn glad to meet you, %s!\n",me);
 }

You're not an idiot, just the error was typing!
(But this is my advice: unless you have more experience, try 1) another
compiler (Borland, Microsoft) and remember, C is a quite hard language to
start with. I just followed the usual path: Basic-Pascal-C !!!!
