Narrative:

We were cleared for a visual approach to runway 7 and cleared to land. Shortly after touchdown, ATC advised us to turn on a certain taxiway. I had no idea where this was, and we had just touched down and were using much effort in stopping the airplane. There were no land and hold short operation in effect, runway 7 and runway 19 intersect. We landed on runway 7, he takeoff on runway 19. We were never told to hold short of runway 19. Had we not cleared runway 7 when we did, we would have collided with the airplane on the takeoff roll.
