help please!

[Sarah Gosselin]

Hi!
I am a student in programing and I am used to work in a Sun lab
(using Unix). I write programs in C++. At school, I go in the console
(or terminal) and type g++ nameofprogram.cc and it compiles it.
However, I have no idea what to do with my iMac (I have the Mac OS
X). I went into the terminal and tried typing all the possible
entries and nothing worked so far. So please, could you tell me how
it works and also how to save my documents so that they get read as
C++ (or G++) documents.
Thank you for your time

Sarah Gosselin
