Subject: multiple fgets()
Mime-Version: 1.0

Dear mail list -

Pardon me for askiing a question which might be trivial, but I am stumped.
 I have a program with multiple fgets() in sequence; ie

fgets(mr, 9, stdin);
..do something ....
fgets(ga, 9, stdin);
.. do something ... 
        .
        .
        .
If the user types more than 8 characters, the remaining characters are left
in the keyboard(?) buffer, and are picked up by the next fgets.  How do I
get rid of the remaining characters, before the following fgets.

Much thanks in advance.

Ethan Rosenberg
