why do these two programs have different outputs when you run em...i've been tryin to figure it ...all morning

FIRST PRORAM

}

>>why do these two programs have different outputs
Don't know either. What are the two outputs?

one of em shows a cursor ...and the other doesn't.....d first one is supposed to be an example of windows resources

line 28 of the first program is wrong. compare it to line 26 of the second program.
