[Dev-C++] skip in program

[Noorez K. <coo...@ho...>]

The cin.getline() function in my loop skips the first time around. I marked 
it with a comment

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <direct.h>
using namespace std;

int system(bool cls);
int main()
{
  cout << "Easy to use dos-prompt!" << endl;
  cout << "\nTo switch dirves use this: drvswitch\n" << endl;
  cout << "\nTo quit you can use any one of the following commands: \n"
       << "quit, bye, exit\n";

  char ask;

  do
  {
    cout << "\nWould you like to enter the system? [Y\\N]";
    cin >> ask;

    if(ask == 'y' || ask == 'Y')
    {//main if

     cout << "\nYou can also have the program Clear Screen automaticly after 
each command.\n";
     cout << "Is this Ok [Y\\N] ";

     char cls;
     bool cLs;
     cin >> cls;
     if(cls == 'y' || cls == 'Y')
     {
       cLs = TRUE;
     }

     else if(cls == 'n' || cls == 'N')
     {
       cLs = FALSE;
     }

     else
     {
       cout << "What...";
       cout << "Default is set. No Clear Screen!\n";
       cLs = FALSE;
     }
     //return to main test
     system(cLs);
     system("pause");
     return 0;
    }

    else if(ask == 'n' || ask == 'N')
    {
      cout << "Bye!" << endl;
      system("pause");
      return 0;
    }

    else
    {
      cout << "What....\n" << endl;
    }

  }while(ask != 'y' || ask != 'Y' || ask != 'n' || ask != 'N');

  return 0;
}

//define the system function
int system(bool cls)
{

  drvswitch:

  char drv[8];
  cout << "\nEnter the name of the drive you want to go to: ";
  cin >> drv;
  strcat(drv,":");
  chdir(drv);

  cout << "Now in drive " << drv << "\\" << endl;
  cout << "You may type in commands" << endl;
  system("pause");
  strcat(drv,"\\>");

  char coms[123];

  while(1)
  {
    cout << drv;
    cin.getline(coms,124); //this is skipped the first time around

    if( strcmp(coms,"exit")==0 || strcmp(coms,"bye")==0 || 
strcmp(coms,"quit")==0 )
    {
      return 0;
    }

    if(strcmp(coms,"drvswitch")==0)
    {
       goto drvswitch;
    }

    system(coms);

    if(cls == TRUE)
    {
      system("pause");
      system("cls");
    }

    cout << endl;
  }//while
}
