Hi,
1)  I'm using the String data type thingy and I can do things like:
string stuff="Hello";
but how do I input text from the keyboard because cin doesn't work.

2)  How do I convert a string into a number (like VAL in BASIC) and back
again (STR$ in BASIC)?

3)  How do I get Allegro to print strings because I can only get it to
work with chars.  Is there a way to convert strings into chars?
