First I don't know if lycos supports php but unless you have a paid account I doubt it and secondly, you have the wrong file name it should be hey.php not hey.php.txt you need to get rid of the .txt at the end.

Yes that is because notepad often saves it with the .txt extention you need to remove that.

Open notepad, paste your code in. Click save as, scroll to the folder which you want to save to, type in hey.php in file name and click save.
