In the dos window, you enter "gcc <filename.c> -o <filename.exe>"  for a C
program, or "gpp <filename.cpp> -o <filename.exe>" for C++.  You can use the
dos 'Edit' program to enter your code by just entering "edit <filename.c>
(or) <filename.cpp>" at the dos prompt.  To place file on disk, "copy
<filename.c> a:" will get it.  Spend a little time at the www.delorie.com
site, because there are a lot of little bits of useful info to be seen.
