its nonstandard but most compilers offer a getch(),getche(),_getch(),or _getche() functions. All of these will do the job of getting a single char from keyboard but only the onesending in 'e' echo that char to the screen.

You must be doing something different to me then, as getch() definitely works, what error message do you get?

All spelling mistakes, syntatical errors and stupid comments are intentional.
this sucks, i cant program til i get back to school next week :'(
so i cant answer your question to what error, but i think it said "undeclared identifier"
The undeclared identifier message means you haven't included the correct header file.
Unless you commented it out or spelt it wrong.
