more info
perhaps you could include more info:
  • what language
  • what compiler
  • what system architecture
  • stream oriented or not

no offense, but i would think after the number of posts that you have, you would be able to post a thread in a much better manner.

rofl @ none or not known.
if you're running Visual C++, it's obviously x86.

since it's not stream oriented, i'm guessing he or she might be using functions like fopen, fclose, fprintf, fscanf, fgets, or fputs. any of those look familiar?

why can't your 'friend' post his or her own problems (or solve them even)? also, why don't you just post up your 'friends' source code? that would provide much more insight to the problem.

Send a message via ICQ to Onslaught
If I am understanding your request correctly, before you end your program send a command to the command-interpreter by using the system function. i.e.
Code:
#include <process.h>
int main()
{
   system( "notepad yourfile.txt" );
   return 1;
}

You can find info on this in the msdn.

For the online reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com
But you should have also gotten the help library from the cd bundle that came with the Visual Studio.
There are 2 cds with about 1 gig of help info.
