dos problems

[D$]

here is my problem. when i compile my cpp files and run my exe
programs this is what happens...when i enter the text for my cout <<
line and hit enter, dos will really quickly show the next cout line
with the output of whatever i type and close itself. how do get dos
to stay open?

I add the following right at the bottom of the code just before the program
ends:

cout << "Hit any key to continue";
getch();

This isn't really a question for this newsgroup... But here you go:

To prevent that from happening, execute your program FROM dos. That
means open DOS and type your program's path and any additional
arguments.

I think you can also edit some settings and tell dos not to exit when
a job's finished, so you can run your programs the way you do now.
