    Forcing a program to stay open.

    I've tried using cin.get() to stop the program from closing itmediatley and it will work, if I'm only displaying text. But when I use a program where the user can input (cin >>) it will close after the user inputs the data. From these forums I found sysem("pause") which solved everything... but I don't like the message it gives (Press any key to continue...).
    Thanks in advance,

    cin.ignore(80, '\n');
    cin.get();
