hi Jackie, sorry about the error message. but I am not encountering
any problem in compiling but in results. after I press the reply of
colour like red etc and enter the window disappears. it does not stay.
I want to stop screen. I can do it with scanf function but I want to
use getchar. I hope now I am more clear. thanks for your help. take
care, regards. ashish
