Hi all, I realize this is somewhat off-topic for the list, so if you want to reply privately, that is fine. What I want to do is write afunction in c++ that will allow the user to press enter then continue. However, I want to make sure the input stream is clear when I print the message that says "Press enter to continue:". I found the flush method, but that only works for output streams. How can I do something similar for input? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, William kc5eiv at kc5eiv.ddts.net
