Start your program from the shell (cmd/DOS window). Then the window
will not go away, and you'll be able to see the result. I suppose you
did it that way in the next question, so I'm afraid I'm stating the
obvious ;-)

If you want to see the results when doubleclicked the file, add
something that will pause your program at the end (e.g. gets, sleep)
or write your result to a file.

And in case you'd not want to see even the DOS window, rename your
file to .rbw ;-)
