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. :-)
