try using system ("pause"); just before the return 0; this should allow the
terminal window to stay open until you press a key to continue.

Nevermind. I figured it out. I had already typed my source code in,
and I guess the console mode application is not available from the New
Project From Existing File method. I put the book's
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
into the int _tmain skeleton created by VC++. It built and ran, I
assume correctly. The terminal window went away too quickly for me to
actually tell, but I did see a terminal window...
