<iostream.h> is deprecated. The latest C++ standard specifies using
<iostream> along with namespaces. cout, cin, cerr, all standard library
functions are in the `std' namespace. To access them, you would say
std::cout, or std::cin.

So your hello program would be

------- Start -------
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello, world.\n";
    return 0;
}
------- Stop -------

However, when you run it directly from the IDE, or from Windows explorer,
you won't see any output. Run the program from a console, or see the FAQ.
