To Whom It May Concern;

Just downloaded your much appreciated software, and can't find any
documentation on "how to use it".  I'll understand if you may think this
question "juvenile", but learning to  use  a C-compiler to learn how to
program in "C" isn't like learning Qbasic!!.

1.)  First, in your FAQ, there is no mention of  being able to "access" the
Compiler! . Being new to "C", I assumed that you need an "environment" to
write your "code" in (like a "form" in VB, or an "Editor" in Dos).  I tried
to type "GCC" at the DOS prompt, only to receive: "No Input Files ". Am I
doing something wrong? so,I'm using the RHIDE Editor in the meantime!.

2.)  Second, in the RHIDE compiler, would like to "Save" the "Code" and
"Compiled" files on Floppy Disk (not on the Hard Drive), but there is no
"option" to save it on any "Drive" but the default!. (again, the reference
to "Qbasic")

3.)   Third, most of "files" downloaded must be "read" using the "Open With"
dialog box.  But, with "What"?!

So you see, I'm really looking for some reference for "Beginners" and I hope
that I didn't bore you with the "Basics".  Please HELP!!

Thank You.
