[Calin Negru]

how do you run a console program with arguments on windows 7? when you run it from the shell the window disapears instantly.

You can be[Using Pause (The GNU C Library)](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html\_node/Using-Pause.html) before return from main().

Run it in a cmd window, just like in a Linux terminal.

use

cmd /k yourapp

- the /k prevents the window from closing once the app has finished running.

Console.ReadKey() as the ending line in the code can make the environment wait before closing the Terminal window
