I just started using mbed few min ago, I tried to download HelloWorld on my PC, but it doesn't open? Can anybody tell me what program you need on your computer for it to open?

No program necessary!

On Linux it may be necessary to run "sync" after saving the file to the mbed controller in order to ensure the filesystem buffers have been flushed.
