Open a command prompt window, enter in the directory of your program using
cd /directory and run the executable from there. I think an autopause
routine must be implemented in the execute option of Dev--C++. I had sent
one written in C to Colin in the past. Colin, i think you should include one
in next version of Dev-C++ (Visual C++ has the same feature too). :)
 Another way is to #include <cstdlib> or #include <stdlib.h> and use the
system("pause") command, or use getchar() or cin.get() or something else.
