I'm not gonna guess at a solution until an actual question is asked. Some kind of detail and more importantly, the code, will probably lead to a quick solution. We just have to get there...

you have to remember if you are using windows (which i guess you are) then the dos window shuts down so fast you wont see your output so add this to the end of your code

(Toggle Plain Text)

for(;;)

that will create an infinate loop so you can see your output and to end just use ctrl+c

 getchar (); /* waits for a key to be pressed before exiting */

yeah what you want to do exactly in code is this (i just figured this crap out like yesterday)

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>     //    <--  need this header file
using namespace std;

cout<<"hello world!"<<endl;

getch();     //   <-- here's the magical function!

return 0;

}

now i can just use dev-c++, yay! ***as everyone laughs at the bl00dninja for not knowing this trick sooner*** just hit any character to make that pretty little window minimize itself whenever you feel like it.

getch() is a "non-standard-library" function that accepts unbuffered/unechoed input so it may not be included in all of your compilers. i still like borland's error codes though, even though they don't HIGHLIGHT the line of code that is being gay. but now i use both. stupid me. portability issues ensue...
