Hi,
  I haven't used  a screen reader, but I think it could mess with 
graphicals interfaces.
Perhaps if you could tell us with screen reader are you using we can 
install it a see which dificulties are involved when using it, and may 
be dev-cpp could be improve for blind people.
By the way, to use g++ from the command line you have to (I assume that 
you have done the default installation, this means that you have 
installed devcpp in c:\dev-cpp\bin):

1- Edit the program with notepad (or another text editor, it dosen't 
matter wich one while it save the file in plain text), for a first try, 
save it in c:\dev-cpp\bin, and named it first.cpp .
2- Open a console, this could be achived by pressin windows + R, this 
open a windows where you must write cmd, and then press enter, or go to 
Start -> Accesories -> System Simbol. I use windows XP in spanish, so I 
not sure if this is totally correct.
3- Well, now you have a console windows, some times called msdos window. 
This come from the golden days of msdos, if you are 16 perhaps you 
haven't used this operating system.
4- now type: cd c:\dev-cpp\bin and press enter
5- cd comes from change directory, so know you are in c:\dev-cpp\bin .
6- to compile type: mingw32-c++ first.cpp -o first.exe  and press enter
7- after some seconds you should have the program compiled
8- to run it type: first and press enter
9- the Hello world messages appears on the screen.

I must say that I really don't know if screen readers works with console 
windows, I hope yes.
