' A demo of a console application. These applications should be run from
' the MS-DOS command prompt. When run using Visual Studio debugger, a console
' window will appear, however it vanishes as soon as the program ends. To
' keep the window open it is a common practice to make the user type something.
' Console applications don't require any classes, just a Sub procedure named
' "Main" (in some module of course). The module containing the Main procedure
' is set in the project's properties.
' In this demo the program merely counts down using a For-Next loop.
