Hi George, In general, that's not a GCC issue, it's your command line shell's issue. I presume you are using Windows NT (3.5, 4.0, 5.0 or 5.1). Note: Windows NT 5.0 is aka Windows 2000, and Windows NT 5.1 is aka Windows XP. I recommend acquiring a better shell that allows multiple lines, such as www.cygwin.com GNU bash shell. HTH, --Eljay
