Question Help with a linked list

Hi guys

I'm writing a linked list to store a strand of DNA(just a string of Chars really). Having problems adding to end of the list while in a while loop getting char's from keyboard

I know I could read into an array and the transfer to a linked list be that in my eyes would defeat the purpose, so here's what ive got

Code:
NODE_TYPE * addToList(NODE_TYPE *head) {
	 int inchar , FrstPass = 1;
	 NODE_TYPE *temp , *lstNode;
	 system("cls");
	 temp = head;
	 lstNode = head;
 	 printf("Please enter a string of dna!\n-->") ;
	 while((inchar=getchar())!= 10) {
	 	if (head == NULL) { //
			head = getNode() ;
			head->Next = NULL  ;
			head->letter = inchar ;
			lstNode=head;
		 } else {
		 	if (FrstPass) {
		 		while((lstNode = lstNode->Next)!=NULL);//find the last node!
		 		FrstPass=0;
		 	}
		 	temp=getNode();
		 	temp->letter = inchar;
		 	temp->Next = NULL;
		 	lstNode->Next = temp;
		 	lstNode = temp;
		 }
	}
	printf("List has been updated!" );
	fflush(stdin);
	getchar();
	return head ;

Can you be more specific what is wrong? any error messages? unexpected behaviour? what is you expectation?

One part that looks strange is this:
Code:
while((lstNode = lstNode->Next)!=NULL);//find the last node!


If you want to get the last node, you should be searching for the node which has NULL as next node.
