Subj : Borland c++ builder 5.02 To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : "Ivory" Date : Thu Mar 04 2004 11:50 am hello, i need help with my borland c++ builder 5.02. I installed it, when i open the program, none of the project menus open up. when i compile and run a program the dos window pops up and disappears immediately (like in a flash). so i can't see any of my output at all. it doesn't even stop at my cin statements. Question 1: How do i set it up so that the dos window stays open so i can see my program and enter information when i use cin? ______________________________________________________________ When i open the program the window is blank. None of the extra windows open up. so when i am working on programs, i can't see any of the errors windows at the bottom of the screen or any where else. :( like the menu that opens to show you the options you can you when you open the program. Question 2: how do i get those addtional menus/submenus to open? I want the program to have the menus that you see like in the diagram sheets you get when you purchase the software and there is a object map with all the views. :( Thank you Ivory .
