newbie question: suppressing dos window

[Maarten]

Thanks all. This was indeed my question... Too bad creation of a dos 
window isn't done lazily... :)

It would indeed be interesting to have still more control over the dos 
window, so you could close the dos window after user input. (And closing 
a dos window shouldn't necessarily always close your program. ) 
Shouldn't be too difficult, I guess...
