Add a /p to the end of the batch file. It will cause the batch to "pause" until you hit a key (thus, the command window stays open).

Subject: OT: Anyone proficient with batch files
Hi all,
I'm trying to test a simple CMD batch file I wrote, but it's not pausing to display anything prior to the interpreter window closing.
Rather than discuss herein, I'd like to have a pvt discussion with anyone who is proficient in conventional batch file creation.
Thx
> Chris
