DOS prompt disapearing

[Zahl]

Every time I start a bit file or a dos exe file I can only sence the blackness before it go away. I know I've heard about it before but not where. How do I set windows so the problem go away.

[Cgawd]

enter this before your main returns 0;

int x;
std::cin >> x;

It's not a program I've maid myself (I know about that thing ) it's BAT and EXE files for DOS in general.

[golfinguy4]

add this as the last line of the bat:
pause

[RoD]

or run it from command.

Say its game.exe and its located at c:\game.exe

then run command (start--run--command)

and type

cd c:\ (press enter)

game.exe (press enter)

i know its in idiot terms but hey, i'm an idiot!

It's a lot easier if you just run the compiled program from the command line.....much less complicated.

i have a similar problem in win2k pro, if i bring up a command prompt, there is no text and until i press enter the prompt is completetely black.
