When asking questions like this it is MOST HELPFUL
to include the EXACT TEXT of the command you used
and the EXACT TEXT of the ERROR MESSAGES resulting.

 From what I see here, the file HELLO.C is not found.

If you issue the command  "DIR HELLO.C" and you
get an error message like "File Not Found" the file does not
exist in your current default disk and directory.

Type "DIRECTORY HELLO.*" DO NOT TYPE THE QUOTATION MARKS!!!!!

The above command should list all files in the current default
directory whose names begin with the string "HELLO.<anything>"

You might also try:
HELP DIRECTORY or even HELP HELP

The later will give you a short tutorial on the HELP command.

HELP, when properly used, will give you a short course on
DCL "Digital Command Language".  The commands are mostly English words;
e.g. if you want to print something, the command is "PRINT <file-spec>
The output will go to the default printer.  You can specify the printer
that you want to print your output.  See HELP PRINT.

The last time I looked, printed documentation was available for just
about everything.  Bring MONEY!  It's not cheap.
