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.
