Hi again,

OK, if you want to use "cin.getline" then the data type has to be
changed to "char".  Here's a simple example of how it works:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
~  int SIZE=80;
~  char sentence[SIZE];

~  cout << "Tell me something: " << endl;
~  cin.getline(sentence,SIZE);

~  cout << "\t What you said: \n" << sentence << endl;

~  return 0;
}

Let me know if it solves your problem.
