    Then what can I say? Its simple intructions if you ask me.
    It is generally a good idea when developing anything interactive to assume your user is a complete idiot. Plan for the blatently stupid, be surprised when they aren't.

    Hmmm.

    I think learning how to change programs for the complete idiot will be harder than learning the language itself.

    Someone wanna write a faq on this?

    buff is a variable, fgets reads a line from an input stream into buff.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    This is close to what you want:

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
