  Both of your questions are related. The reason your program does not
stop after execution as it did for those compiled with Turbo, I would
expect, is because the new compiler is compiling DOS programs instead
of Windows programs.
  To remedy this, try compiling as Windows programs. Sound simple?
Yes, I knew it would. However, I don't know how to do it with your
brand of compiler. I assume it does target Windows console
applications. You'd know that better than me. The problem is simply
that you're not telling the compiler to make a Windows program. You
are, whether you know it or not, inadvertantly telling it to make a
DOS application instead. RTFM, and learn how to use your compiler.
