If you're going to suspend the running of the program. Don't leave the user guessing, print a "Press any key to continue message." Also, it looks like it never stops until you hit ESC. You should tell the users that as well.

A command driven interface is a little clunky, it might be time to move on to a graphics display with mouse support.

actually in the program theres an 'exit' command. Yeah the graphics interface is a good idea... if only there was a way to open up a file browsing window like all the other programs in windows.

Dlls! I forget where, but there was a nice solid way to use windows dlls so your programs look like they were made in VB or something. I don't know where though......thread search?

hmmmmmmmm..... Y'know....to get some mula for the programs we got we did serious grunt work (ie: toilet scrubbing, law mowing). It shouldn't be difficult to pull up $20 with a few lawn-mowing jobs. And then if you get good enough at it (quick and efficient) more people can hire you and you'll receive even more income which will allow you to get nicer tools. Heck, imagine..... a lawn-mowing monopoly. You could be the next Bill Gates commanding a heirarchy of managers spread throughout the country which eventually trickle down to people actually mowing the lawns.
Wishful thinking is great
