menu with text
Hi,
I am trying to make a program that displays a heading at the top center of the screen that says my name in blue, underneath that i am trying to put a menu with the options view, delete record, insert record. I got far as to use gotoxy with printf but i cannot figure the rest out.
Do you know what the code is?
Thank you

I've made a few of these. The one I'm working on, having a projected 10,000 lines of code, I could help with anything I can manage to help with!
let me know if this helps...
