Subject:	B20: fgets() again. (Enter isn't enter!)

I found that using ^J instead of enter gives the correct results.

Take this small bit of code:

#include <stdio.h>

char string[5];
char *fgets_ptr;

int main() {
	fgets_ptr = fgets(string, sizeof(string), stdin);
	string[strlen(string)-1] = '\0';
	printf("fgets_ptr is %s and string is %s\n", fgets_ptr, string);
	return(0);
}

Yeilds this when using "Enter" to execute it:

BASH.EXE-2.02$ ./fgetstest.exe

fgets_ptr is  and string is

But yeilds this when using ^J:

BASH.EXE-2.02$ ./fgetstest.exe^J
asd
fgets_ptr is asd and string is asd
