The handbook's in /usr/share/doc/handbook in both HTML and ASCII formats;
for the latest version (or if you don't have a running system to look at),
go to http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/

gcc -o myprog prog1.c prog2.c

will generate an executable called 'myprog' from the source files 
prog1.c and prog2.c (if you leave out the "-o myprog" bit, the executable 
will be called 'a.out' instead). You can then run it by typing

./myprog

in the directory where you compiled it.

There have been a couple of people posting in here about starting up user 
groups in Australia recently, so you're in luck!
