The best way to start off (took me awhile to figure this out) and actually
run a program - use the hello world template when you start a new project..
then delete:
> cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << endl;
> getchar ();
and stick in:
system("PAUSE");
then you can do whatever you want with C++ (text stuff) and it will be in
the dos window.
