When you input a string, you can't store it in a single char. You have to 
make room for a whole STRING, i.e - an *array* of chars.

Try the following code:

-------------------------------------
char Txt[30+1]; 

/* Declares an array of 30 characters + a place for a special
terminator (called NULL terminator), which marks the end of the actual 
string. 30 chars might be too little - modify it as needed. */

cout << "Print a string: " << endl;  

cin >>Txt;  /* Inputs a string and stores it in Txt */

cout<<Txt;  /* Prints your string */

1. Take upon yourself an impossible mission.
2. Accomplish the mission.
3. Go back to step 1.

It's the only sane answer to modern life.
