It's a good thing you do, Jethro... Keep up the good work!

If you wanna know more read a book, try 'Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days'

Keep in mind not to expect the 21-day miracle, though... Take your time with it and don't try to learn too much at one time (1, you'll burn out and 2, you'll forget too much stuff... It's a lot to soak in). Other than that, it's a great book! That's how I got started and it's the book that I reccomend the most as well...

the SYSTEM("PAUSE") function is nice if you just want to double click the *.exe file and run the program, but if you have alot of programs and are running in a dos prompt, why not change the path of the executables? example:

(there are many ways to do this)

path=c:\<directory where your .exe files are>

the above is the same as: path c:\<directory>

and the same as path = c:\<directory>

(told ya there were many ways to do it )

all you have to do is type (in your dos prompt, and without quotes):

C:\> "path=c:\<put your directory here>"

C:\> "program_name"

and that's it...obviously you can replace path=c:\ with any of your other drives.

Ahhh C++ so EZ and yet so cool.

don't forget that the == is used as a comparison so if you want to see if a variable is equal to something like
if (variablea == 7)
dosomething;
but if you want to set a variable to something use the = sign like, if you use the single equals in a comparison it gives some screwy results.
int variablea =7;
