[metapost] Problem with mpost

[A. Ward]

I am running Windows XP (Home) and have installed MikTex 2.5 basic. I would
like use Metapost but when I insert a short test file into Run like say 
mpost test.mp all I see is a quick flash on screen as if mpost has worked
but when I look for the file test.1 I cannot find it anywhere. I have
checked that I do have mpost installed with the Basic and Bin folders
present. I would much appreciate some help with this. Thank you
