Nick,

After I made my post I found the && solution on a C tutorial website, quite by accident. I've tried it, and as you know it works, but the thing that irks me is that I was given no knowledge of that from the book (which is a start from scratch textbook) before the exercise. Nevertheless, I thank you for your help. From the looks of things, I may be bothering you guys a lot with little stuff like this, cause I've already found another problem, which is either a typo in the book or another failure on the part of the author. Does anyone know of a C Board that is specifically geared for beginners? Thanks again.

Ash
