Rainbird,

Duuuhhh!

1) Find your executable in Windows Explorer e.g \MyProgram\Myprogram.exe
2) right click it
3) chose properties
4) click the program tab
5) uncheck the ''Close On Exit'' checkbox

When your program is finished Windows will not close it''s window.
(no need to add superfluous getch()''s etc.

Thanks for the suggestion Paul, but that was one of the first things I tried - its in that long paragraph of my first post. I don''t know why it didn''t work - you got me! I think I''ll just have to use that extra command for now, because I need to be able to see the output while I''m such a beginner. Thanks for the suggestion
