[Dev-C++] quick question about sending stuff to windows

[Leonard M. <Leo...@Mi...>]

im tring to make a quicky chat program for me and my friends to use over
the school network. what i have so far looks like this :

//net send simplyfier, good for lan chat


#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
      char name [20]    ;       //define variables
      char text [100] ;
                    cout << ("what user to you want to messsage?" "\n")   
 ;
                cin >> name             ;
                    cout << name   ;         //verbose
                    cout << ("\n")   ;       //ending line
                    cout << ("what is the text of the message you wish to
send?" "\n");
                cin >> "text"                                    ;
                    cout << "text"     ;           //verbose
                    cout << ("\n");              //ending line, is there a
better way?
                system("net send name text"); // uses the  net command to
send the text to the receiver's computer  *need to figure out how to send
my variables with it.
                system("PAUSE");    //die!
      return 0;
}
i know very little about c++ and attempting to teach myself
any ideas about line 19 anone?
specifically how can i get the varibles name and text passed along to the
net send command



regards and thank you in advance
