    So... what are you trying to use to pause it? What exactly's happening?

    try using endl like this:

    Code:
    //this
    cout << "Test" << endl;
    //as compared to this
    cout << "Test\n";
    -Save the whales. Collect the whole set.

    er...

    you mean just do a pause with msvc++ 6.0?

    just do this:

    #include <conio.h>

    int main()
    {
    cout<<"Hello, now this program will pause"<<flush;
    _getch();
    return 0;
    }

    ok, if you are outputting something right before the pause, make sure you put in the flush, otherwise it won't print until you hit a key and the program continues. make sure after _getch() you have trailing semicolon: _getch();

    #include<iostream.h>//must include

    int main()

    cout<<"Hello, now this program will pause"<<flush;
    _getch();
    return 0;

    conio is the library for _getch, which waits for a user to press a key.
