I've never used Visual Studio with D, and I wouldn't expect telling it not 
close the window after execution to be any different in D than it is in C++, 
but I don't know. Regardless, contorting your program to try and print assert 
messages to a file just because VisualD has problems with closing the Window on 
you is a _bad_ idea IMHO. If it really has that problem, and you really need 
to see the assertion without running the debugger on it, I'd advise just 
running the program on the command line.
