To compile the program hello.c:

\dm\bin\dmc hello

should do it.

Save which files? DMC:

cd \
unzip dmc.zip

should do it. For hello, that is short for "hello.c", and you create it like
you would any other text file.

i need to know how to have the compiler apply to it the only thing ive been able
to do is save hello.c with a textad and then open it with dmc but when i open
the .exe box that come i just see a bunch of odd symbols flash and then the
program close

Open a command box (the "C:\" icon in Programs>Accessories). cd to the 
directory where the executable is. Then run the executable again. This 
time, you shouldn't see a console box, but you should see the actual 
output of the program.

Theoretically, this should be "Hello World". :-)
