The above example you provided is indicative of the relevant code in
my prog except I might need an ignore() (ok that didn't help.) If
something in the code after the cin is doing it, I wouldn't know where
and to post the whole prog is a lot of tabs to change. cin *does work
elsewhere. Can't run debug 'cause it only fouls up when I'm not in vc+
+ IDE. Remember the really odd thing is that it only screws up when I
run the prog "normally" i.e. not clicking "run" button in VC++? The
program flow is the same either way except the flow stops in the case
of the former 8)

Is it possible that VC++ is preventing a condition (in the stream
buffer?) from occuring?

When I enter a valid number and hit return, the cursor just goes to a
new line, nothing else happens, I can't enter anything after that ,
and have to ctrl-c kill the prog?

I'm including iostream via fstream.h and

oh what joy, not. I tried std::cin >> hexnum;

error C2653: 'std' : is not a class or namespace name

Been so long since I saw that I don't remember the fix.

Using cin as opposed to std::cin couldn't have adverse effects, could
it?

Thanks for the link. Great FAQ

Hope we're not chasing a non c++ related rabbit.

Thanks
Mike
