    im not to sure what you are asking for here... but from what i understand this should be what you are looking for...

    Code:
    include<iostrem.h>
    
    main()
    {
        cout << "hello c++\n";
        system("pause");
        return 0
    }

    Turbo C++ sucks. Throw it away and get a decent compiler like Visual C++ or gcc.

    <iostream.h> is wrong. The correct header file is <iostream> (without the ".h")

    You use cout without a using statement. In a standard compiler your code won't compile.
    Either explicitly use std::cout or put a using namespace std; statement after your #include statements.

    You need to include cstdlib to use the system function

    If you are using the ancient Turbo C++, you probably should update to a compiler that isn't 10+ years old, and that follows the C++ standard, rather than the pre-standard language.

    But for a quick solution, try including <stdlib.h> instead.

    I'm pretty sure that's like asking which is better, getting repeatedly hit in the head with a hammer, or having your fingernails pulled out one at a time -- the correct answer is "neither". We just had a what-compiler-should-I-use thread in the last twelve hours or so, so read the forum. (Edit: It was on the C programming forum, but all the ones mentioned are C++.)
