ok, I now understand why not to use fflush(). (I would have noticed
when porting to linux whats the final destination... ;)

so you mean, I scanf() whatever I need and then let getchar() go
through stdin again clearing everything until the first '\n', right?

ok then, that would solve the first halve of my problem.
for the second I open another thread. thanks a lot!
