ok, I've got my code, and it compiles with no errors, and the code file test1.cpp is part of the project Learn.exe.

When I click run (presumably the green button on the second toolbar that looks kind of like > ), a small window flashes up sufficiently quickly that I can't even read it.

My test1.cpp file just has the command cout << "Hi!\n";

So, what I'm looking for is how to get a window where I can watch the output (and for more complex programs enter user input).
