QT on Windows not opening cmd

I am running QT Creator, Ver. 2009.04, on a Windows machine and I am trying to have QT run a command line program. It is simple because I am new to C++. It opens a file, reads line by line and inserts data in to map based on criteria within the string (first five chars are its 'KEY'). The 'Value' is a vector of the string obtained from the file line...

All this description is moot as it will not open the cmd.exe nor will it run in its built-in console. It will however create a process of the programs *.exe just floating in the task manager with no way to access it.

I run the same code in NetBeans and the cmd shows up fine. I want to use QT because it is supposed to be a better IDE than NetBeans. Any suggestions on getting QT to do something?
Qt Creator is a visual designer for Qt GUIs, if you need to do something else (not a GUI program using Qt) you should use a different IDE
Haha! OH! Duh. Still, I had intended on getting a command line version working well and then place the QT GUI on it. You say this is not the IDE to do that?
I think it should be used only for the Qt part, for anything else use a different IDE
