I wondered if Borland C++ 4.5 is for dos applications only, or I can write Win32(Win98, Win2000 etc.) apps in it to???
I know that you can write a Win32 app, but don't know what to put in the .def file, and if the should use the same "language" as I use for dos apps?????

.DEF files are only if you're making a DLL. I'm sure BC++ 4.5 makes Windows programs too...check the linker documentation.

Anyway, here's two examples (you'll need to use the source files only!):

They're two ways of achieving similar things. MSDN has loads more detailed info, if you need it (well...look anyway!)
