Yes, probably I will  be forced to do so if I do  not want to change 100
code examples :)

I do not agree with this. Of  course, it is the standard behaviour but I
do not find  it very confortable. In particular, from  a developer point
of view, I would like to see my  output. At the same time I am much more
used to press compile&run, than compile - switch window - execute.

Moreover, other compilers  behave in a different manner  (anyway for all
other aspects I like dev c++ a bit more).
