Hello. My program takes some preset numbers, for instance 20 to 30, then calculates for each number whether its proper divisors when added together, are less than, more than, or equal to the original number. It worked fine as a simple, run "only once and restart" program, but then I set it up using a "while loop" menu and found an unexpected behavior. The first time through, no matter which series of numbers I select, it works fine. Subsequent runs adds "10" to the desired numbers. For example, the first time through it checks 20, 21...30. The next time through, rather than rechecking 20-30, it now checks 31...32...to 41.
I tried using some flush commands at the end of suspect statements, but no luck there.
I would appreciate any help.
