    There is no "actual C++ program stuff"...

    Tell me exactly what you tried to do, and list your code, if you wrote any.

    >i am trying to get the page where all programs are written,

    Write the program in Notepad or something, and save it as myFile.cpp. Then, you can compile it.

    Your compiler's help files should have info on the correct syntax for compiling your program. Which one do you have?

    Hey thanx....... now iam trying to configure the bordland compiler but none of the applications apply to windows xp........which one is best for my operating system.

    I know caps means yelling on the internet, but to me only means emphasis and i think there is a new addiction.
    thanx i really feel like i am learning something here.
