I assume you are doing something like this:

  -- compute ANSWER then
  Put_Line(integer'IMAGE(ANSWER));
end Your_Program;

The "problem" is simply that the program is over.  To make your answer
appear on the screen long enough to read it, simply add a delay statement
to the end of the program.  For example,

  -- compute ANSWER then
  Put_Line(integer'IMAGE(ANSWER));
  delay 5.0; -- show the answer for 5 seconds
end Your_Program;  -- close the DOS window

If you want the answer to remain on the screen until the user acknowledges
it, then you can do something like this:

  Put_Line(integer'IMAGE(ANSWER));
  Put_Line("Press the RETURN key to quit.");
  Get_Line(DUMMY_STRING, DUMMY_LENGTH);  -- wait for user to press RETURN
end Your_Program;
