Character 10 is a line feed.  scanf accepts input until a carriage
return is recieved (pushing Enter).  When you push Enter, a carriage
return and a line feed is sent.  I would say that this is where the
character 10 is coming from.  To fix it, try putting a '\n' at the end
of the format string (first parameter) in your scanf functions.  Failing
that, look at the example in the DJGPP documentation (under libc.a).

Hope this helps,
Barry Rodewald.
