short lived

I just picked up a C++ instructional guide, so you can expect to see me here with questions over the next few months.

First, a pretty stupid one: I'm running Bloodshed Dev-C++ 4 on WinXP Home, and when i compile and run a simple program, the display pops up in a DOS window for a spilt second and then, as the program has finished running, the window closes. How can i get this window to stay open until i decide to close it?

Thanks from the newbie.
