Okay, I'm trying to write a simple "Hello, world!" program.  this is the
code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
    clrscr();
    cout << "Hello, world!";
    getch();
}

But for some reason, the getch() is called first, THEN the cout, and the
clrscr() is never called at all!!  And I'm not the only one - my friend says
the same thing happens to him.  I probably am doing something horribly wrong
and will feel like a horses arse when I find out what, but if someone could
point me in the general direction of an answer, i'd be much obliged!!

BTW - I'm not a newbie, this is for Computer Science class.  Heh, i usually
use Allegro and such stuff...not iostream functions. :-)
