I think this is what you want: #include <stdio.h> main() { printf("\n\nH"); printf("e"); ; printf("y"); printf( "\n" ); return 0; } Bob

Yes thats good but i want two second delay between each letter written, and going horizontally

Now, if our goal is to write this in portable C, then there is no way to write the sleep function. However, if you use Windows Specific functions, then I believe you can do it. Here is how: #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> main() { printf("\n\nH"); Sleep( 2000 ); printf("e"); Sleep( 2000 ); printf("y"); printf( "\n" ); return 0; } The argument to Sleep is the time in milliseconds. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask a follow up question. Bob

Assuming you want a 2ms delay (which is not discernable by the human eye) in between each letter, what you have is fine.
