When the programing gets tuff, the programer must get creative,. thats my
motto.... here's what i would try..
when you get the input, from the user, check to see if it is within the valid
limits, example:
if there is a menu that says: (1) do something (2) go someware (Q) Quit.
Check and see if the user enterd eather '1' '2' or 'q', if he didnt, then
remove 50 points, because he musta hit ctrl-c, this will compansate you.
it's not a "direct" fix to your problem, but as i said, sometimes you need to
be creative. :-)
