What is [inlinecode]que[/inlinecode]? Is it a pointer, or is it another [inlinecode]Que[/inlinecode]? If it's a pointer, then you should be [inlinecode].remove()[/inlinecode]ing 5 times and it should be empty. If it's another [inlinecode]Que[/inlinecode], then of course [inlinecode]que1[/inlinecode] is not empty, you've only [inlinecode].remove()[/inlinecode]d twice, and it's not empty.

I dunno about that... do windoze systems come with compilers on them? If your school uses macs then you might be in business, but I don't think windoze comes with any c++ compilers. And when I think about the "editing cout" thing, it makes me think about overloaded operators. ^_^
