Hello,

I have been trying to learn C++ as my first lang. I d/l'ed Dev-C++ as my compiler, and I was doing pretty well the past few days, getting very small programs to work. I was finally getting used to some elementary syntax, etc., but now, I'm having a problem with my compiler. I had a simple program that started with #include <iostream.h>. After compiling the prog, a tab appeared that said iostream.h. I clicked on it, highlighted all the info in the window, and deleted it all to see what would happen. Following that, the cout function in my little prog would not be recognized (I understand that cin and others wouldn't either, but I wanted to see this for myself). I didn't save anything, to my knowledge, but quit the program, and started it back up. Now, I cannot get any little progs to recognize the #include <iostream.h> function to work, and cannot figure out how to get the compiler back to its default state. The tab no longer appears upon compiling any of my crappy little programs. Does anyone have any advice. I could get a new compiler, but don't want to spend any money until I learn the language a little better. BTW, I have posted this on the Dev-C++ forums, as well, but I trust the brains that visit these forums a lot, as no one's done me wrong yet. Thanks a ton, sorry for the long post.
