main(){
   char Monster_Name[]="Bear";
   clrscr();
   printf("%s", Monster_Name);
   getch();
   return(0);
 }
That should work. Either that, or declare Monster_Name as a "char *", then 
assign it that value of "Bear". In C, the use of ""s, usually returns a 
pointer to a NULL-terminated string.

either system(); or some of the filing commands: unlink(); _dos_findfirst();

fopen();
fputs();
fgets();
fwrite();
fread();
