hello....i am starting to learn to program in c++ and have a small question...it seems that when i write a simple program, such as the hello world.....i dont have time to see the message when running the program....the dos window pops up and then closes really fast....i also noticed this when tryin to run dos commands from the sys32 folder..is this a result of the dos change in win xp? is there anyway i can get these boxes to not automaticlly close?
