well iv no reply''s to this topic, so i thought maybe someone didnt understand my question. The question is basically:

How can I stop the program from closing itself after the program has done its job? Do I have to create a loop to the top of the program or something?

getch() might work for you. dunno what exactly you''re wanting here but this pauses your program and waits for a key press
