anybody know what it mean ..... cout << " Press Enter to continues......"

Hi, All experts

In my console program, I wrote
""
cout << "Press enter to continues";
anykey = getchar();
""
I do not know why in VC++ 6.0 the cursor does not stay right after " press enter to continues..._ <--- cursor
.What it do is to move the cursor to the secod line ( after Press enter to continues) at the output screen.

anybody know how........

Thank you.

hi, all experts

It still not work! it work with Borland C++ but not MSVC++
The cursor still stay at the bottom of the "Press anykey to continues" *** not the one the came with the MS VC++ compiler

Thank You all
