Hi Robert!
You got 3 errors in your program below:
1. You have to include <_string.h>. <string.h> includes the standart 
C- String functions such as strcpy(), strcmp()  etc. <_string.h> 
includes the C++ String class.
2. the name of the String class is „String“ and not „string“
3. your String-object is „word“ and not „test“. therfore substitute 
cout<< test with cout<< word.
4. Compile with gxx test.cc (asuming you named your test prog test.cc 


> #include <iostream.h>
> #include <string.h>
> 
> int main()
> {
>     string word = "test";
>     cout << test << endl;
>     return 0;
> }
Here the „improved version“
#include <iostream.h>
#include <_string.h>

int main()
{
    String word = "test";
    cout << word << endl;
    return 0;
}
hope that helps.
Michi
