Hi I have a small question abotu c++ if statments what i want to do is let a user choose one of 2 commands but the commands are not numbers their words like unix commands so here is what i am doing.

Code:

char com2;
if (com2 == help)
 {
 cout &lt;&lt; "commands" &lt;&lt; endl;
 cout &lt;&lt; "ls" &lt;&lt; endl;
 }
 if (com2 == ls)
 {
 cout &lt;&lt; "etc" &lt;&lt; endl;
 cout &lt;&lt; "root" &lt;&lt; endl;
 cout &lt;&lt; "home" &lt;&lt; endl;
 }
else
{
cout &lt;&lt; "sorry command not found" &lt;&lt; endl;
}

ok that is an example of something i want to do now when i try to compile it i get an error saying saying 'help' undeclared ( first use of function) I am using DevC++ to compile this. if any one has any suggestion on what i could do to fix this i would be very thankful.
