Jeff:

        To enable a program to import more than one string from the console  
at a time I modifed <stream.hpp> in the following manner and recompiled the  
libraries.

int sgetc()
{       return (gptr + 1 < pptr)
        .....
}

The propblem was that sgetc() was continuing to point at the previous input   
even when called anew.

                          Mail has been slow to arrive,
