Can anyone offer a newbie a bit of advice. How can I make my programs look better to the user when asking for input, ie dialog boxes and buttons etc. None of the books I have seem to cover these subjects. Any advice would be appreciated.

the only real way to make things look better is to either use graphics libraries, such as allegro, or using a windows interface.
I know this sounds stupid but could you explain in simpler terms as I am completely new to this. Could anyone recomend any tutorials on this subject.

It's been said so many times before, but just go to www.google.com. It took me fifteen seconds to find this tutorial for the allegro library. http://echellon.hybd.net/issues/1/articles/allegtut.htm
all you have to do is take some time to look.
When you don't know what your looking for then its harder to find !!
For all the different graphics options, allegro sounds the best for you. It's just a library of graphics and I/O functions that work with C/C++. There are many places to download Allegro, one of them being www.delore.com/djgpp. Just go to the zip picker and check Allegro.
Nobody will hand you everything you need to know in life, sometimes you have to search for what sounds right and figure things out as you go. If you want to create graphical interfaces then you're better off with JAVA, it's a language better suited to graphics than C.When you don't know what your looking for then its harder to find !!
