I looked up cin.get in the turbo c++ help file and indeed this problem is what
will, because cin.get doesn't take the delimiter (ENTER in this case, but you can
specify another as the third parameter of cin.get) off the input stream, so the
next times cin.get is called it will see enter immediately, leaving an empty
string. Maybe you can solve it by flushing the input stream in some way, or taking
the enter off the input stream everytime you call cin.get.
