Right now I'm using exit(0) to [attemp to] terminate my program. My
program is a console .exe application. After the "exit(0)" line of
code is encountered, the console application waits for an enter press,
before terminating. I want it to terminate completely without having
to press enter manually. Anybody know what I might be missing here ?

It's probable that the application has ended but the IDE is being
helpful and keeping the command window open for you. Try running it
outside the IDE. As far as the C language is concerned the call to exit
is enough.

if(result == EXIT_PROGRAM){
printf("Exit script command detected.\n");
exit(0); //Thought this line would exit, but it doesn't
// It requires that you press enter after for console
termination.
}

There you go. That's not a language thing, it's just the IDE. People
don't want that window disappearing, because you can't see the output.
You have to ask on a Visual Studion newsgroup of some sort whether that
can be changed. There's nothing C can do.

As I said elsewhere, it's the IDE. Try running that from a command you
opened, you'll see the expected behavior.
