  FYI, gcc normally works out what language a file contains by looking at
the extension, so when it ends in .txt it can't guess what language it's in.
But you can always tell it specifically:  if you use the command line option
"-x c" to tell gcc that the file was a C file then it would still work, i.e.

"@gcc -x c test.txt"

    cheers,
