How do I run my executable??

First I'll start out by saying that I'm new to Red Hat Linux 7.2. What I cant figure out is how to run my new executable file from a console prompt after compiling it. It's just a simple program that displays some text on a screen. Any help is much appreciated!!! :-)

well, where does this file come from? is it compiled C code or what? if it IS executable and in your current directory, just use ./programname

use 'man chmod' to find out about file rights and such like.
