NEWBIE can't close CMD window

Post by DWBC »

I have just used QB64 for the first time and have compiled my first (very short) EXE program OK. However, when it finishes it is leaving the CMD window open. I have used SHELL EXIT as the last line, which I thought should automatically shut it, but it does not. I am using Windows & 64bit. Can anyone help please?
Thanks.

Use SYSTEM at the end of code or you need to press a key after code has run.
