Hello,

Thank you for making DJGPP available.  I have greatly enjoyed using it
as I learn to program.  I have encountered a problem for which I could
not find any mention in the FAQ or Docs.  I realize that you are busy,
but I also would greatly appreciate an answer to this problem.

My problem is as follows:

Using DJGPP 2.03, I #include <string> to make use of the string class in
C++.  Unfortunately, setw() of the <iomanip> file does not seem to work
on objects of class string.  My instructor suggested using the syntax,
given a string string = "test"; , of &string[0] in order to use the
setw() function with the object.  Unfortunately, this resulted in a
bunch of garbage following the value of string.

My question is how can I use setw() with an object of class string? 
Alternatively, is there another way in which I manipulate the columns of
my final output if I am using an object of class string?
