 //This is a c# program that prints out "Hello World"
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Text;

    namespace IncludeHelp
    {
        class Test
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                //This is line will print out "Hello World"
                Console.WriteLine("Hello World");

                //This let's us exit the porgram when you press enter 
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }

Save the file as "newfile.cs"

Open terminal and type mcs newfile.cs
