    Some more questions...

    When using cout<< how do you make a "enter" happen? So it goes down to the next line.

    you can either use the endl like this
    Code:
    cout<<"something in here"<<endl;
    or by using \n like this
    Code:
    cout<<"something here \n";

    Code:
    cout << "Line 1" << endl << "Line 2\n" << "Line 3";
    2 ways - send 'endl' to the screen (a constant defined in iostream) or use the newline escape character in a string - '\n'.

    to clear the window (im guessing you mean clear screen)

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib> //this header is required to use the system    //command. 
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
             system("CLS"); //this will clear the screen . FOr linux replace CLS //with clear
              return 0;
    
    }

    it syas there is not such directry as cstdlib. Maybe it was misspelled?

    Edit: Never mind I didn't put the .h after it and it worked fine.

    How do I... (Level 1) - clear the screen?

    Also: \n will only output a newline without requiring a buffer flush. Use endl if you want to output a newline and flush the output buffer.

    Is it possible to have a program copy and paste something into the windows clipboard?
    Think about it: notepad, IE, opera, <insert any commerical progarm>, all are able to work with the windows clipboard. What should this tell you about the possibility?
