Hi,
Check the code below, can't figure out why this doesn't work, I mean,
should it exit when I enter exit?  Also, when I type spaces into my
string, it creates as many ":" as I inputed spaces.  Can anyone fix
this?

getcommand(void)
{
char *p;
char *com;
 for (p = ":"; *p;p++)
 put_char(*p, 10);
 scanf("%s",com);
 if (strcmp(com, "exit") == 0)        exit(0);
 getcommand();
 return 1;
}
