If you''re working in MSVC++:
System("cls");
should work. If that doesn''t work
capitalize CLS. I was convinced it didn''t
exist until I stumbled across it in the
MSVC++ documentation.

The probles is that u dons''t have to do a win32 console aplication, or neither a project. try to go to the ide and new, then put c++ file. after u done with the coding compile it and it will run dos ! did u ever try that ?

Allow me to repeat myself: Console != DOS.
MSVC cannot produce DOS executables. Just because the app comes up in a black text-mode window doesn''t mean it''s a DOS app.

MSVC (newer versions, like 6 at least) cannot compile DOS applications. A DOS application is a 16 bit program. A Win32 Console application is a 32 bit program. It runs in a Console window (often erroneously called a DOS-box/DOS-window). A Console application can use all the same Win32 API functions as a windowed app (eg. a Console app can open windows and stuff. In addition; a windowed app can open a console if it wants to).

You don''t get it, do you? Okay, I''ll type this slowly :
T H A T I S N O T D O S .T H A T I S T H E W I N D O W S C O N S O L E . If it was actually DOS, you''d have a full screen, no menubars and 80x25 text, among other things. Know the difference.
Thank''s now i have the right explanation, and thank you again for correcting me, that''s why we r all here, all to learn

Once again.
begin point.
Who gives two shits whether it''s dos or windows.
You guys are all missing the point.
to clear the damn screen:
system("cls");
end point.
