     That is never mentioned in my book. I wonder why? I saw he was 
trying to handle strings and this shows a few ways. If he wants 
something to happen when he moves his cursor left and right I do not 
know how to sense that. But sure there must be some standard C that will 
sense the cursor.

     Also glad to see the standard C works fine with the 10.04 Ubuntu  
gcc call. I had not verified that for straight C. I already discovered 
the change in C++ which was not hard to fix.
