Weird...

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

   printf("Press Q or q to exit: ");

      MessageBox(NULL, "You Pressed " + *cChar, "Test", MB_OK);
      goto start;
      }

I'm using this, but when I run it, and press a key other than Q or q, it gives me something like $qrii instead of like "You Pressed A", or something. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? As you can see, I'm a complete newb, so any help is greatly appreciated.

read up strings in the tutorial/faq at the top of the page. You can't use normal operators to manipulate pure strings.

Dont use labels and gotos. Your code should look like this:

int main(...)
{
   char cChar[2];
   char buff[64];
   while(true) // infinite loop
   {
       clrscr();
       printf("How ya doin?\nI'm doin fine.\n");
       printf("Press Q or q to exit: ");
       gets(cChar);
       if(*cChar == 'Q' || *cChar == 'q')
       {
          return 0; // break the loop, and quit
       }
       else
       {
          sprintf(buff, "You Pressed %s", cChar);
          MessageBox(NULL, buff, "Test", MB_OK);
        }
    }
}

You might have to swap the literal "You Pressed %s" with buff in the call to sprintf, because I dont remember which comes first.

fixed the code sample

buff should be first
