When you start a text mode program from within a Windows graphical
environment, Windows opens the console window that will show the program's
output because the program requires it.  When the program is finished that
window is no longer required so the console window is closed.

If you want to wait at the end to see all of what the program did you can do
one of two things, place a breakpoint on the return statement in main or if
you place getchar(); on the line immediately before the return in main it
will wait for the Enter key to be pressed.
