got as far as a project but unfortunately that was it, how do I get a text window open to enter the code?
Sorry, looked for a user guide but couldn't find one

First time any ide? On your left side of the window there is the "Projects"  window. There you can see A Workspace with your Project in it. There you have to open the .c(pp) file.
Search the web, there are tons of tutorials...
