Someone asked

<<I am a relatively new ADA student as I am in my second semster of ADA
instruction however I have only used a commercial VMS based compiler to date
and I am having some trouble with basic usage of the gnat compiler I
downloaded tonight.  I can't seem to compile anything..so I must be doing
something incredibly stupid.. so if anyone can tell me either a. where a good
reference for gnat syntax is or b. what to type just to compile, link, and
execute a program like the basic "hello world" i would be very appreciative.>>

did you read the manual. The first chapter of the users guide is a pretty
elementary level introduction to exactly these topics ...
