october 5th, darn... too long to wait!

Im using this topic to ask questions! yay!
1. How would I clear the screen (CMD) ?
Answer: system("CLS"); <-- Works like a charm!

2. How would I freeze the program and request that the user press a button to continue without the program displaying, "Press any key to continue"
Answer: After importing "windows.h" at the top of the program, Sleep(//milliseconds//); works fine!

3. How would I set a timer for the program to wait for so long before displaying the next message?

4. How would I check to see if a string is equal to another string?
I want the user to type in a direction, (East, north, west, south) and have the program move him that way (Text based game)

Welcome
