You are not doing anything wrong.  Tasm.exe is not part of what you bought.

The help states that the Turbo C++ compiler will call the Tasm to process 
inline assembly in C or C++ source files.  That is the defininition of how 
the compiler works should someone use inline assembly.  It does not define 
that the assembler was included in what you bought and Turbo Assembler, 
Tasm.exe, is not part of the Turbo C++ suite.

Please note the word 'borlandcpp' in this newsgroup's name.  That indicates 
this group if for the Borland C++ compiler.  If you look through the 
newsgroup list you will see another group with 'turbocpp' in its name.  That 
group is for the Turbo C++ compiler.
