Run it from the command line.

What are you using for OS?
Windows NT/2000/XP => click 'start' -> 'Run' type cmd.exe in the 'open'    box hit the 'ok' button

Window 9X/ME => click 'start' -> 'Run' type 'command.com' in the 'open' box hit enter.

Or search the startmenu for MS-DOS prompt(win98) or Command Prompt (win NT/2000/XP)

how can I make it not flash on the screen without running it from the command line?

Just put in the following line just before the
return statement from main.

char pause = getchar();

in the botom where u have completed all the operations to be performed by the program type

getch();

this function will pause the screen until u input something form the keyboard ..... u can use it at any location where u want to pause the screen for example if u want to pause before the hello word being displayed put it before that statemebt ....... u can put it as many times as u wish as aprogram statement . hope this would work for u
