I have used turbo-c++ compiler in the past.

If you press the control-key with the f9 key, it must compile and run at the same time. I have no clue what you are actually trying to do out there.. and why its not working as desired.

In turbo-c++ compiler atleast pressing the Alt key along with F5 key did show the output in the background (back in the DOS)

ok shiv-i got your code to work and cout hot

You should make a note that if a noobie says he is running a noobie program and it doesnt do anything but simply goes back to C:\ _ that its possible he is typing file instead of file.exe

If the issue is between typing file instead of file.exe then I beg to differ

If any file has an extension .exe or .com or .bat then you need not type the file extension as part of the file name to execute. In DOS it would work just fine with just filename without those extensions (.exe, .com, .bat)
