once i compile the code, and load it, my program or code/whatever, is displayed in the MS DOS window. Then the MS DOS window terminates automatically, right away. Is there anyway i can set the DOS window to stay open. PRESS A KEY TO CONTINUE... maybe?

thanks a lot, it worked.
I suggest using std::cin.get(); AFAIK, it's the most portable way.
secondly, just kinda nit-picking, it's not really an MS-DOS window... it's actually called a console window, and isn't really DOS unless you're running an older operating system. newer (windows) operating systems don't allow direct access to DOS or even have it at all... for example, windows XP doesn't have any dos at all. instead when you run cmd, you bring up a console that allows you to use a text-based interaction with windows XP.
or... using namespace std;
char s
cin >> s
