Hi,

Being brand New to programming in C I have come across my first problem. ;)

I am trying to install c on my Windows XP Professional PC.
I have been doing this:

START -> All Programs -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced ->
Environmental Variables ->
Then I select Path and and EDIT  and modify the Variable Value to look like:
"
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32;c:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin;%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\
WBEM;E:\MSPUBL~1\Office;C:\DJGPP\BIN;
"  (minus the quotes)

Then I clicked new and in the variable Name I typed : " DJGPP   "  (minus
the quotes)
and in the Variable value I added "   C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.env   "  (minus the
quotes)

Then I typed up a small C program:
"
/* This program prints the message
    ANSI--A kinder and gentler C:
    to the video Display */

#include <stdio.h>

main()  {

printf( "ANSI--A kinder and gentler C!\n" );

 } "

And tried compiling it ( C:\C>gcc first.c ) and I get:

'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Any Ideas to a newbie what's going on?
