Hi Sivan,

actually >>see the output!
>>what can i do to make the output screen stay?

Before your return statement inside the main() routine insert a

    system("Pause");

statement.

Here a short example that should work for you:

    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
      cout << "Hi there!!!...\r\n";
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
    }


>>and another question, why can't the program find "help"?

Help is not included but you can use the vUpdate Program
to load it from the Update-Server. You will find a lot of things
to download (about 50 single downloads) but most important is
i guess to get the latest vUpdate Program first (done automatically)
and afterwards the latest Dev-Cpp, the Help File and the tips for
the language you have set your IDE to. (Dont wonder if you have to
update Dev-Cpp immediately after you downloaded it... it is some
versions behind the current version because of the fast development
cycle of the code monkeys :-) [And i think you do a fabulous work,
guys!)

The download
speed depends on the time of day a little i found out... a lot
of persons seem to update on a regular basis :-)

You also should check the Resource Page found on Bloodshed Webpage
for a lot of useful tutorials. And if you're in search for a free ebook try
Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel. It's located on www.mindview.net . But
i posted that already a while back here :-)

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Hans-Jörg (who's also trying to get started with C++)
