Re: [Dev-C++] Starting out

[Saundra S. <Sch...@ho...>]

This seems to be a common question....I too had the same problem....I've
been using the following command before the return statement.

system("pause");

Basicaly the system call works with  DOS commands like pause and cls.  I
haven't tried others, but these two work to hold the screen and clear the
screen.
