 I need help with a problem I have run into with Lattice C for the Amiga.
 I purchased the compiler in July and I am having trouble with the scanf()
 function.  Here is my code.

 #include <stdio.h>
 main()
{
   int num1;
   char chr1;

   printf("Enter a number: ");
   scanf("%d",&num1);
   printf("\nEnter a character : ");
   scanf("\n%c",&chr1);
   printf("\n>> %c <<");
}
According to a C book I have the \n before the %c in the scanf() should
make the scanf ignore the \n that the previous scanf leaves behind.  I
tried this onthe UNIX system at Purdue University, and it worked fine.
I then tried it on the Amiga, compiled it with Lattice C, and it doesn't
work.  The \n before the %c in the second scanf command is ignored.
How can I get around this, someone told me that it had something to do
with the keyboard buffer.  Can I do something else that will work the 
same??? 
                    Can someone from Lattice help??

                    Thank You,
                                    Tony Hutson
