Thank you for your hint, i was using TurboC for a long time, so i didn't
know that.
In TurboC you MUST do fflush(stdin) before you can use gets, because the
buffer must 
be empty(How can you empty the buffer in DJGPP?).

P.S.: I made a typing error. I wrote scanf(text[i]), but I wanted to
write 
scanf("%s", text[i]).
