Ok.. Well i did that first program..(you know, the first exe you make when learning c++) and it wont compile. Im using Borland c++ Builder 6 (like my book suggests) and whenever i try to run it, it says 'cannot find file iostream.h' (which is included in the source code) and it says 'Undefined Symbol Cout' but all the source codes in my book use the word Cout. WHAT SHOULD I DO??!

Not finding 'iostream.h' is causing the 'cout' problem. I don't use Builder, so I can't help much there, but it sounds like somethings not set up right. There should be a default include path defined and iostream.h should be in that default path. Are you sure that your book uses iostream.h and not just 'iostream'. I've seen that before.

absoultly positive. What do you use? I dont mind using another compiler. Just as long as it works.

You are including iostream in right? You don't need the .h in the include, some compilers throw an error if you do. Also its cout not Cout, its case sensitive, make sure you've got your case right.
