I am a total novice. I got "teach yourself C++ in 24 hrs book. the
directions are limited, for me. What I did. I installed the prog, I
checked the memory, I went to the ride text editor, typed in my short
silly little program ( hello. exe) clicked save went to a ms dos prompt
got the message " no such file or dir" Tried compiling it got error
messages a go-go line...undefined checked my code for mistakes.
according to the book there are none so my queston is what am I doing
wrong? I find this stuff interresting but if I can't jump this hurdle
then I can't learn C++ which will frustrate me to no end so please help
me. thanks
