Hello all, first off ..im new at programming and must say this site is great for starting out. Ive always wondered how it all "works" so i thought i may try to figure it out. Hopeing to go to college for programming someday ...eeh ..but anyways, my question is, when i make a simple program ..like the ones in the basic tutorial on this site ...i cant keep the dos window to stay open .. when I press enter to execute whatever it may be ..before i have time to read what it says, it just close's on me. Real erritating when i make a simple math program ..cant see what the product of my numbers were. Chances are im just not far enough in the tutorials to learn what i gotta put in to quit it from doing that ...but would be very helpful if i knew now. Thx ahead of time
