Could someone walk me through the steps of creating a basic c program with
Digital Mars, such as the "hello world" program?  I checked the online
documentation, but at this point I am somewhat overwhelmed. I especially need
help figuring out which options to choose when starting the new project.

Thanks

Hello World:

C:\> cd \dm\bin
C:\> dir dmc.exe
..... shows it ...
C:\> copy con hello_world.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  printf("Hello World!\n");
  return 0;
}
F6
Enter
C:\> dir hello_world.c
..... shows it ....
C:\> dmc hello_world.c
..... should work ....
C:\> hello_world
.... should print the text ....

..... cleanup ....
C:\> del hello_world.*

Once this work you may continue with setting PATH
so that the compiler directory won't be polluted
with temporary files, try to compile mini-application
using more than one source file and so on.
