I actually found a tutorial for the absolute beginner in C and C++ online.
While I understand that I still need to get a book, I was still delighted to
find more online enlightenment.

So, of course, comes my next questions:

All the program exercises for these tutorials have (obviously) a ".c" extension.
Will this be compatible with the DigitalMars compiler?

Will I need to rename them to '.cpp' before I can use any of them?  or will that
corrupt the file or compiler?

Me (again)

No you don't have to rename them. As long as C++ sources are in 
*.cpp files and c sources are in *.c files.

The compiler is a C and C++ compiler.

I had to move a '.c'  into DigitalMars' bin file in order for it to link and
compile.  Though I'm satisfied with the result, I'd like to ask if all of the .c
or .cpp files I ever use or create will have to be saved in DigitalMars' bin
file in order to work?

No you don't have to move those *.c and *.cpp files to the bin 
folder. You have make sure the the bin dir is in the search path.

...exactly how do I do that?

lot's of ways to skin a cat, sorry if this is too much information.  

from a prompt...
set path=c:\etc\etc\dm\bin;%PATH%

-or- you can add c:\etc\dm\bin to your autoexec.bat PATH= statement if you have
one.  that way you don't have to reset it every time you open a new window.

-or- you could create a sc.bat file and stick it in your windows\command folder,
something like...

rem sc.bat
 echo off
c:\etc\etc\dm\bin\sc.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
rem end sc.bat

-or- you could create a dmvars.bat i've been using this...

rem dmvars.bat
 echo off
if "%1"=="OFF" goto remove
if "%1"=="off" goto remove

subst s: c:\cpp\dm
set path=s:\bin;c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\xdos;
set INCLUDE=
set LIB=
echo DMC++ variables set
goto end

:remove
c:
subst s: /d
set path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\xdos;
echo DMC++ variables removed
goto end

:end
rem end dmvars.bat

...I tried your first example in five different ways.

Here's how I tried them:

1.  set path=c:\DigMars\dm\bin,%PATH%
   Too many parameters

2.  set path=c:\DigMars\dm\bin
   (Took me back to the original prompt)

3. set path=c:\DigMars\dm\bin,compiler
   Too many parameters

4.set path=c:\DigMars\dm\bin, compiler
   Too many parameters

5.set path=c:\DigMars\dm\bin,%compiler%
  Syntax error

As you can see, I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'll keep trying.  Any additional assistance would be absolutely wonderful.

um... was this supposed to happen this way?
