Two questions:

1. I don't really understand what you are asking. Could you try rephrasing the question.

2. What programming language are you using?

sorry i've forgot. I am using c++ and i want make the program repeat a certain set of instructions until i press a key ( enter for example).

If you are using Visual C++ you use the function _kbhit() to detect the keypress (with other compilers it may be just kbhit()). There's a very simple example from the Microsoft documentation here: http/msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/58w7c94c(v=VS.80).aspx . You should see from that how to construct a more complicated example.
