hi there, one way is to open the windows folder your program is saved in, then click start>run - it will open the ms dos prompt, in the directory of your folder. then, run the program by typing just the program name without the extention (the .exe, or whatever) in the dos window. this should not shut the window afterwards.

if it still does, reply

cheers.

Well, i just install java sdk and when I try to test it by typing JAVA or JAVAC in the DOS window and once it finishes displaying the results the window closes automatically.
