Hi There,

I have been tring to work out how to program in C++ for Linux..   I manage
to write some c++ code call welcome.C via using a editor called emacs... 
Then I compiled the code using the g++ command e.g. g++ wlcome.C, it seemed
to complied O.K. and created a file call a.out..   Now I am new to linux
but if I was to run a file say something like a.exe, from DOS, all I would
do is go to the dir where the file was and type the command "a", and the
file would run..

How would one setup linux so that the file a.out would run from a certain
dir?

Thanks
