if you are trying to see your output from a C/C++ tutorial then I found the best way (since mine always disapeared before you could read the result) was to add something like

cout << "enter a value to end";
int dummy;
cin >> dummy;

if its just some utility you want to run then on Win98 just open a dos box and run it from there, the box will stay open after the program ends (just select "MSdos Prompt" from the programs menu), most of the dos programs I run dont close the box anyway, I get the "this program has ended, close the box to return to windows" message, so if you aint on 98 then I have no idea sorry.
