        Ha!  You don't know ME!!!
        Seriously, thanks for your helpful suggestions, especially
the one on getting color in the stream.  I'm really zeroing in on
classes.   Some of the books I use say that one needs to know C
thoroughly before embarking on C++ - others say they can be learned
together or that C++ is so radically different that C might be a
hindrance.  I'm taking all of that into consideration and trying to
approach it as sensibly as possible for me.  
        I (grin) tend to call anything C++ if I can use // for a
comment line!!  But then I'm a hobbyist, not a professional.  
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank

I'm not going to comment on your code or make any criticisms, but I
just had to smile at your program.  My first program, when I was in
seventh grade and using BASIC on a TRS-80 Model III, was a math program
quite similar to this!  I guess it's just such an obvious thing to
use.
Anyway, I couldn't resist commenting.
Now back to your regularly scheduled, errr, programming.  :-)
