help, please

Here is the code. The prog pops up then dissappears:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
int main()
    {
    std::string plant;
    std::string glint;
    cout << "The world is about to be destroyed. You are in a futuristic spy base." << endl;
    cout << "You will soon go on a mission to save the world. In the corner of the room," << endl;
    cout << "you see a plant. The door is to the north and the basement is down." << endl;
    std::string firstroom;
    cin >> firstroom;
    if(firstroom == "x plant")
                 {
                 cout << "As you examine the plant, you spot a glint of silver in the soil." << endl;
                 cin >> plant;
                 }
    if(plant == "x glint" || "get glint")
                 {
                 plant:
                 cout << "You pick up the glint. It is a keycard to the NETWORK." << endl;
                 int getglint;
                 getglint = 1;
                 cin >> glint;
                 }
    std::cin.ignore();
    std::cin.get();
    return 0;
    }

I'd guess you still have input in the buffer that .ignore() isn't catching. You can try the c++ method suggested here or use cin.ignore(100, '\n'); (where 100 is the max number bytes to ignore.. The default is 1).
