I am using Borland C++ compiler 5.5.
It is saved in my C drive.
I followed the instructions on the borlad help page ( http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,21205,00.html ).
Using these instructions I go to the Start Menu and click 'Run". I enter 'command' and it brings up 'MS-DOS Prompt', then I type the information given in my first post.

( Thanks for the quick response )
