Wonderbar!  That's the info I was looking for and here's a good example for 
any others that may be reading these mails.  It's one of Ivor's and a good 
one.  For me!  Down to reading more about the  way it really is to be done 
and to try to remember it.  You young guys are lucky to be able to take it 
in so much faster.

******************************
const int MAX = 80;                // Maximum array dimension
   char buffer[MAX];                  // Input buffer
   int count = 0;                     // Character count

   cout << "Enter a string of less than 80 characters:\n";
   cin.getline(buffer, MAX, '\n');    // Read a string until \n

   while(buffer[count]!= '\0')   // Increment count as long as
      count++;                    // the current character is not null

   cout << endl
        << "The string \"" << buffer
        << "\" has " << count << " characters.";

   cout << endl;
**************************************
use "cin.getline(85,'\n')" from <iostream>, as you say, this can be
easily found in any book or tutorial.
