Making Hello, World in my new project• clicking on the arrow next to Hello1 (project) if necessay;

• clicking on the arrow next to Source Files

• ...see the main.cpp? They're starting a main function for me!

– ...and for our purposes, I would rather it NOT be named main.cpp;

– right click (or ctrl-click), pick Rename, rename as, say, hello_again.cpp

• double-click on hello_again.cpp to open it in the middle:

• this is not an AWFUL template -- but it doesn't QUITE meet class coding standards (no EXIT_SUCCESS);

– ...we COULD paste the CS 111 main template here...!

– File Type: C++ Source File

– name...? next_sound_play, cpp?

• Run-> Build Project?

– Run-> Run Project?

– WORKS!!!!!

(note: CAN use NetBeans to *type in* a C++ program in BSS 317 lab, BUT there are C++ compiler issues there!

IF you transfer the resulting .cpp and .h files to nrs-labs, they CAN be compiled there using g++ as usual, though!)
