beginner's problem

[Jason McCready]

I'm very unfamiliar with compilers, so don't laugh at my question please.
Where should I save my text files that I want to be compiled?  I type "gcc
hello.c -o hello.c", but I get "no such file or directory", then
"no input files"

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
Jason
