I have obtrained the C++BuilderX via the Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 24 
hours manual.  Installed the software and associated all files to it. 
Registered for the personel key and recieved the e-mail for the code 
with instructions to copy to my personel folder.

Now I open program and I get the program with a dark blue screen on the 
right where the editor should be. I clicked new, came to object gallary 
and selected new console and next. New console app wizard creates 
project settings and directory path.  Then get step 2 to ssset active 
toolset, and using windowsxp I accept the checked boxs and click the set 
as active toolset. I'm asked which files to add and add none, click next 
and I have consoleapp 1, 2, 3 or 4 ect with a window on right that is 
dark blue.

How do I activate the editor window to enter in the excercises in my book?

Hello Earl,

To open the editor you first need to add a file to your project and then
open that file. To add a file, go to File | New and select the Source
file tab. From that tab add either a new C++ unit (.h and .cpp file) so
simply a new C++ file (.cpp). Upon clicking OK the file(s) will be added
to your project and will be opened for you to edit.

Take care and have fun learning C++!

Thank you, and now the next problem.  Below is copy of first program 
interered into editor as per book:

#include <instream>

int main()
{
   std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
   return 0;
}
When I click make "hello.cpp" I get the following build errors.
"hello.cpp": E2209 Unable to open include file 'instream' at line 1
"hello.cpp": E2090 Qualifier 'std' is not a class or namespace name in 
function main() at line 5
"hello.cpp": E2379 Statement missing ; in function main() at line 5

The book says to check setting up the include path or envioronmental 
variables.  Huh!  With all due respect I'm POLISH and it's coming out!
I haven't a clue to what to do.  I followed the install suggestions and 
clicked everything ok and changed nothing.  So how do I set up the 
include path or envioronmental variables?

Hello Earl,

Well for starters I don't believe there is a header file named
"instream". Instead, change that to:

#include <iostream>

To fix this issue you should not need to change your include path. But
for future reference, go to Project | Build Options Explorer and then
highlight the compiler you are using. The bottom of the dialog should
then change to reflect the various options the compiler has. In there
you will find an area to modify the include path.

Lastly, with respect to the environment variables I'm pretty sure that
you won't have a need to modify these in the near future.

Good luck!

Thanks again and will switch to the student newsgroup

Thank you again for the quick and complete answer.  I think it must be 
obvious that I do have the program properly installed and just don't 
have any idea yet of what to do as to using it.  I think it also seems 
that it would be time to switch to the student newsgroup for my future 
questions to which you can expect thousands!

Again, thanks I will try and read the book a little closer to see that 
the letters are what they are.
