    no the do while is correct you dont need to ask the first time through the loop.
    i would still say just make some char and at the end do a
    char = getch();
    and for a condition just make sure it doesnt == n or N

    Code:
    #using <mscorlib.dll>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <iostream>
    #inlcude <conio>
    using namespace std;
    using namespace System;
    
    int main()
    
    {
    double a = 0;
    double b = 0;
    double c = 0;
    double d = 0;
    double Average = 0.0;
    String *anotherAverage = "";
    Boolean Y = 1;
    Boolean N = 0;
    char temp;
    do
    
    {system("CLS");
    
    Console::Write("Enter first number: ");
    	a = Convert:: ToDouble(Console::ReadLine());
    
    Console::Write("Enter second number: ");
    	b = Convert::ToDouble(Console::ReadLine());
    
    Console::Write("Enter third number: ");
    	c = Convert:: ToDouble(Console::ReadLine());
    
    Console::Write("Enter fourth number: ");
    	d = Convert:: ToDouble(Console::ReadLine());
    
    Average = a + b + c + d /4;
    
    Console::WriteLine("Average: {0}",
    Average.ToString("N2"));
    
    Console::Write("Do you want to get another average? (Y/N)");
    temp = getch();
    }
    while (temp != 'n' && temp != 'N');
    cin.get();    //used for wait?
    
    
    
    
    return 0;
    }
    
    //end of main function

    [QUOTE=~Kyo~][code]
    #using <mscorlib.dll>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <iostream>
    #inlcude <conio> //I get a invalid preprocessor command on running it
