Whereas when you run it from the command prompt, it's output stays in the command prompt window, and that window doesn't close because it's waiting for you to run another command. You can make it possible to run your program and see it before it closes by adding "gets" (without quotes) as the last line of your program. Your program will then wait for you to press enter before it closes and you'll get to see everything it printed out.
