Oh... I was new to turbo C this summer... so I am out of this NEW period
now...  I have been programming for about two years before this... but
it still seemed new to me.  I can probably teach simple stuff... :)

That isn't difficult...  :)
Okay... there is a function called delay() and it is under dos.h  :)
This is how you would type in...
// Using a delay function
#include 
#include 
main()
{
        cout << "You have Just been Stung" << endl;
         // next line delays the line after that for so many milliseconds.
        delay (400); 
        cout << "And your face is now swolen" << endl;
}
This should compile and gives a delay of just under half a second.

That would do exactly just that.

No problem...  if any other questions, just ask.
