Under C++ you would normally use cout, cin, << and >>, like so:

cout << "What is your name? ";
cin >> s;
cout << "Your name is " << s;

where s is an array of chars.

This question should really have been asked elsewhere - this newsgroup
is intended for discussion of DJGPP issues, not the C (or C++) language
itself. I suggest that you get a good book on C/C++ programming, or read 
one of the many web tutorials there are lying around.
