stopping a command window

[Chrissirhc]

Hi,

I load a program using an icon and it loads up command prompt but I cannot see whats in this prompt (despite many attempts to hold control break when it comes up. Is there anyway of keeping the window open.

Guess popped into my head when writing this:

cmd "name of program file or script" /k

Is this right?

If you are using an icon to fire up the program, I assume it is a shortcut. If so, have a look in the properties, it has the full commandline there. Never too old to learn...

and maybe a Close on exit checkmark has been set ..

put pause in as the last statement,but you will then have to hit akey to finish and shut the cmd window.
