Can someone point me to something simple like this?

Notepad works for an editor on windows. You can use vi or whatever
you like on POSIX systems.
Just about every C compiler has a command line interface.
We do not know what compiler you are using (or want to use).
If you already have a compiler installed, then go to a newsgroup
dedicated to that compiler and ask how to use it from the command line
in that news group.
