Hi Josh,
>>How do your compile the program?

The compiler is called gcc.exe so if you want to compile a file 
called test.c the syntax would be 'gcc test.c -o test.exe'  .

>>And how do you give a name to the file when you compile it

The -o switch above indicates what the output file should be ( if you 
wanted the output file to be hello.exe the command would be 'gcc 
test.c -o hello.exe' ) . 
There are a lot of other switches for example '-O3' would perform 
optimizations.

>> And how do you open the editor to create a program ?

There is a IDE for DJGPP called RHIDE you can download at the 
same FTP site you got DJGPP from or at DJ's website. It is good 
and it has a similar interface to BORLAND's product's. It has a 
menu driven interface and a good help system available. 
If you already have it just type RHIDE at the dos prompt and press 
enter.

>>the way program written ?
Sorry Josh but i don't know anything about phobos. Maybe 
someone else might help you.

BTW Why don't you download the DJGPP FAQ. It has lot's of 
information for anyone.
Hope this help's.
