Thanks for these answers and also thanks for your patience. These are
things that have been bugging me for a long time. Here are some more
questions !!!!!!.

Very interesting. Do you know how many times I tried to find that from
the menu ?
If I go up from "info iostream" I get the menu. Usually that means I can
choose one of the items on the menu to get back down to where I came
from. So I'm really baffled why there's not an item called "The GNU C++
Iostream Library" on the menu. I'm thinking there's more information
where that came from, and I'd like to browse that area of the menu,
wherever it is, but there's no mention of iostream or any GNU C++
library at all on the menu.
Specifically , I'd love to know which of the following do I hit to get
to "info iostream" or at least the area where it is located ? I believe
I've tried them all but I could be wrong.
* libc.a: (libc).
The Standard C Library Reference
* libm.a: (libm).
The Math Library Reference
* Utilities: (utils). Miscellaneous utilities that come with DJGPP.
* bin2h: (utils)bin2h. Convert binary data files to C include files.
* djtar: (utils)djtar. Extract or list files from (possibly compressed)
tar archives, with DOS filename
conversion
* dtou: (utils)dtou. Convert text files from dos to unix.
* utod: (utils)utod. Convert text files from unix to dos.
* djecho: (utils)djecho. Echo long command lines to files.
* gxx: (utils)gxx. Build and link C++ programs
* redir: (utils)redir. Manage I/O Redirection.
* djsplit: (utils)djsplit. Split large files into multiple files.
* djmerge: (utils)djmerge. Merge multiple files into one file.
* texi2ps: (utils)texi2ps. Convert texinfo files to Postscript.
* update: (utils)update. Conditionally copy one file to another.
From faqNNNb.zip
* FAQ: (djgppfaq).
The DJGPP FAQ list
From gccNNNb.zip
* CPP: (cpp).
The GNU C-Preprocessor
* GCC: (gcc).
The GNU C, C++, and Objective-C Compiler

Is that a yes or a no ? What the heck is a compiler collection ? Is the
GNU Compiler Collection the only thing in GNU ? If I have djgpp, do I
have part of the GNU compiler collection, or the whole collection ? Also
I sure would like to know what a "port" is. This is how the GNU page
sounds to me: the zupraduplebanger is a qaudrngle port to an ipswitch
thangeramarang for pixle boballobers. I'm not saying its not a good
page. Maybe someone can recommend a beginner's compiler book or
something like that to get me up to speed.
Is "GXX documentation", "GPP documentation" and "GNU documentation" all
the exact same thing as "djgpp documentation"? Does GNU documentation
for C++ apply to GPP ? Yes ? No ? Maybe ? Sometimes ? Almost ?

I have read this sort of thing lots of times, and it makes it sound as
if the two are absolutely interchangable, But there must be some
difference, because I
can compile with gpp just fine, but if I change it to gxx I get :
c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot open -lgpp: No such file or directory
(ENOENT)
What's it mean ?
I searched int the faq for -lgpp and didn't see anything about missing
-lgpp.
