Quick linked list question

[scuzzo]

I almost have my overloaded += operator working. I just need some help polishing it. My problem is that if I put one list as +4x^4 and the other list as +3x^3+2x^2 then the list stays stuck on the first term of the first list. Can anyone throw me a bone.

	int coefficient;
	int exponent;
	bool NegCoef;

	TermType* next;

	// default constructor: create an empty polynomial
	Polynomial();				

// copy constructor: use the content of p1 to create a polynomial
	Polynomial(const Polynomial& p1);		

	// destructor 
// release dynamic memory related to the polynomial
	//~Polynomial();				

	// overloaded assignment operator 
// assign the content of p1 to a polynomial
	void operator=(const Polynomial& p1);

	// overloaded += operator
// add a polynomial
	void operator+=(const Polynomial& p1);

	// overloaded -= operator
// subtract a polynomial
	void operator-=(const Polynomial& p1); 

	// read a polynomial
	void read();

	// output a polynomial
	void print();

	//new input function
	void insertTerm(bool,int,int);
