That DOS box popping up is not caused by RSX, per se, but by the fact
that you compiled that program as a 'console application'. Truth to be
told, it's not even a 'DOS box' in the first place: it's a console
window.  In the case of a true DJGPP app, a virtual DOS machine would
run in that console window, causing it to be a DOS box. But for an RSX
application, it just stays a win32 console.

If you don't want to have a console window, you need to write your
programm as a full-fledged Windows application, which is a wildly
different style of programming, compared to traditional ANSI-C or DOS
programming.  It takes a whole new learning effort, usually.
