Using Borland's C++ Compiler

Does anyone know where I could get a *basic* faq on running Borland's C++ Compiler 5.5 (on XP)? I've searched on-line a bit but all I get is really detailed technical stuff whereas all I need to know is basics like where you're supposed to save the programs you write and what commands you type to compile & run them.…

Thanks, Karome.

I just did Hello World with C++. Yay!
