[fpc-pascal]I can't get my pascal compiler to run because I don't know how

[Robert Waring]

I recently downloaded the pascal compiler for windows, I installed it but I don't understand how to do the things it then asked me to do.  My computer knowledge is not great but I'm doing a correspondence course and I'm trying to learn, so if any one could explain in simple terms how to: 
                                    Extend the path variable with 'c:\pp\bin\win32'
                                    To compile files enter 'ppc386[file]'
                                    To start IDE type 'FP' at commamd line prompt
I would be very grateful.

It said in the read-me file where I found this address that I should point out that I am not subscribed to the mailing list so that you can send me a copy of your answer.  My e-mail address is robert.waring1 at btopenworld.com

Thanks for your help
