Basically it sounds like you want to wait for a key to be pressed before the DOS window closes. In C I would write:

while ( !kbhit() )

in C++ I would write:

std::cin.getch();
although the C++ method requires a carraige return.

'kbhit' is not a standard C function.

If it is available with your C compiler, it should also be available with your C++ compiler from the same vendor.

There is no difference between C and C++ in this respect except that /more/ (e.g. 'std::cin') is available in the C++ standard library.
