i have a pretty simple question that i am sure everyone knows the answer to. in the midst of you laughing dont forget to answer it since i am only 6. I need to know how to make paragraphs and tell the program to go back to them in C or C++. see, what i wanna do is create a dummy value that will record the number of lines on the screen (d++ every time the while command executes and says click any key to display the next twenty lines). however i cannot seem to get the the thing to keep printing after i click a key.it just stops. i knew how to to this with cobol (name the paragraph and PERFORM PRINT-LINES) but C is so much cooler. thanx.

...i am only 6...


I have a hard time believing that.
Just do a loop, initialize std libraries and to print a line, do std::cout << "Blah...";

Maybe he meant 16 or 63....
but if I understood right...(and I probably didn''t =( ) mayube what you can do, is have it loop until done, and in the loop write the next 20 lines then do something like:

cout << "-Press any Key to Continue-" << endl;
getche();

getche() waits for a character to be pressed. (and returns it btw)

getche();


Why would you use getche()? Why would you want it to echo back the key pressed? getch() is much more ''covered up''.
ahh good it works. i see what was wrong. i used a scanf when i shud have used a getch(). Thanx 4 d help.
