Hi,

I'm in this programming class and I have a program to hand in.
There's a place in the program where I'm supposed to display a table
and leave it there until the user presses <Enter>.  I don't know how
to do this.  The only way I know to make my program "stop and wait" is
by using "GET", but GET seems to require that the user types
something, anything, before he/she presses <Enter>.

So what's the simplest way to hold the screen until <Enter>.  My
program structure is fine and the other screen I want displayed is
fine.  The way I have it now is that the table comes up, with a couple
of blank lines bellow, and my other screen bellow that.  It all fits
on one screen but that's not the way the teacher wants it.

What I usually do is to give the user two choices, one to continue and
one to quit, and I put the answer in some variable that determines
what is done next.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Marc
