i am writing basic text-based programs using Dev-C++ and everythings running smoothly except the words only stay onthe screen for a second and then vanish. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Try adding the line ''system("pause");'' to the end of your program. You''ll need to include stdlib.h (I think ...).
