Didn't you read the Hello World Tutorial? It explains this. Try this code :

Print "Hello World." Sleep End

I see that you've been using C (cout is a dead giveaway.) :) We don't really use C on GDN. We use various forms of BASIC.

BASIC is much, much easier to use than C. I recommend FreeBASIC. You can find the download link on the Getting Started with FreeBASIC page and our Hello World Tutorial will show you the very first lines of code you need to understand.

After you've read and worked your way through that tutorial, you can take a look at the rest of our FreeBASIC tutorials.

PS, if you need any more help, feel free to ask questions. That's what GDN is here for. :)
