Sorry for asking a FAQ,
but it still does not work as I expect.
Now I have this program:


#include<conio.h>

int main(void)
{
  clrscr()
  cprintf("First line\nSecondline\n");
  cprintf("Please wait...");
  getch();
  return 0;
}
/*end of little program **********/

OK, the getch-Problem is solved. Thank you to everyone who helped me
with this. 
Now it seems that  cprintf() interprets a "\n" as a newline and
nothing more. The printf()-funktion interprets it as a newline and
carrige return. The above program produces staircases when I run it
under DOS. Is there any trick like a escape-sequence for carrige
return (This time I looked in the FAQ first; nothing found ;-) ?
