That's right...cin only reads up to teh next white space...I dunno
why...maybe you can change it...

heh heh...spoke too soon about read_token()...I guess it was a Borland
extension...according to the C++ standard, the string class has a function
getline (lowercase 'G') that reads a line up to a delemiter ('\n' I think)
and stores it in the string.
