The stdio routine gets(and therefore scanf) requires a CTL-J to terminate the line. This is an acknowledged bug and is supposed to be fixed in the next software release. You can use the BDOS read string command to come close to a gets. The documentation is in error in that the returned string is NOT null terminated. If you are interested, I can send you a short routine which emulates gets quite effectively. Eric Ross ihnp4!hpfcla!hpvcla!ericr Vancouver, WA.
