Hmmmm, a tip you can ALWAYS try whenever you want to know where a certain piece of code is, is this.... Change to the source directory, type grep function_or_command *.c > temp.txt That will search all file in the source dir that ends with .c and grep out all lines that contain the word or words you search forto a file called temp.txt. You can then look in the temp.txt file to see where all occurances of that phrase is, that makes it a lot easier to find where a certain function resides. In this case a good guess would have been grep display *.c > temp.txt or grep prompt *.c > temp.txt (The above is valid if you are using some kind of Unix flavour) But as important as it is to have a working knowledge of c coding, it is to know how to use your OS to accomplish things that you need.
