Well, in OpenVMS to create a source file you should use

edit/edt namefile.c

Then type

or

change

is the same. You'll have the editor ready to work. When you have finished to write your code and type

ctrl Z

Now you can type another command, to save type

ex

or

exit

if you don't want to save type

quit

When you are again in your directory to compile the file type

cc namefile.c

then do the linking

link namefile.obj

and at least if you haven't any error

run namefile.exe

I hope it is usefull! ;)
