// strhello.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string s = "Hello";
    s += ' ';
    s += "World!";
    cout << s << endl;
}

Compile with something like:  gpp -Wall strhello.cpp -o strhello

BTW, The string class is not specific to DJGPP so any good C++ book
should explain it and provide examples of its usage.  You could
probably find more examples posted in a C++ language group.
