WinARM comes with a few examples the LPC-P2106 board. It's simlar but no
the same. You may have to adapt the pin-number/bit-masks used for LED.
Sorry, I just own the LPC-P2106 so I can not provide tested examples for
the LPC-MT-2106.

Make sure the PATH environment variable has been extened correctly (see
readme), open the windows shell ("DOS-prompt"), change into the example
directory and type make all.

Search for Jim Lnych's LPC ARM tutorial.

Take a look into the makefiles or the output from make all and you
should get an idea. WinARM comes with the tool lpc21isp to upload though
the LPC bootloader you can also use the old Philips isp-tool or
Flashmagic.

WinARM comes with a simple editor named programmers notpad (pn.exe).
Start it, load an example, open the makefile and select tools/make all.
See what is done in the output-window. You will see the steps and
options used to assemble, compile, link and to generate a load-file
(hex).
