   Hi Robert,

   I posted the code today in the fidogazette..   
      
   This is what I've got working so far:   
      
   int main() {   
   char cs,ga,cc,sp,cg,x;   
   cs="";   
   int l;   
   bbbs("cls");   
   printf("\e[1;1H\e[1;33mTo get the weather for names containing spaces,");   
   printf("\e[2;1H\e[1;33menter the name in quotes or use an underscore");   
   printf("\e[3;1H\e[1;33mfor example, both \"new york\" and new_york work.");   
   printf("\n\n");   
   cs=input("Enter City:    ",50,0);   
   cc=sprintf("\"%s\"",cs);   
   system(sprintf("/usr/bin/curl wttr.in/%s -O",cc),1,0);   
   system(sprintf("/usr/bin/head -n 7 %s",cc),1,0); printf("\e[30;1H\e[1;33mPress   
   a key to continue"); getch();   
   // x=system(sprintf("cat /home/bbbs/%s>/dev/null 2>&1",cs),1,0);   
   // return(x);   
   }   
      
   Everything is working great, but I'm still working on removing the the quoted   
   filename that it leaves behind in the /bbbs/directory.  Read the article in   
   today's Fidogazette, you'll see what I am talking about .  I also posted   
   links to curl and head in that article.   
      
   This is what it looks like when it's run:   
      
      
   ===cut here====   
   To get the weather for names containing spaces, enter the name in quotes or use   
    an underscore for example, both "new york" and new_york work.
