Batch programming
i have created a batch file, but when i double click on the icon, it scrolls through dos quickly and then it closes. i can open it in dos, but i would like to open by double clicking. i know there is a way, because i have seen it before on other programs. does anyone know how to do this? thanks for the help.

Add the command "pause" wherever you want it to stop running. It will then wait for a keypress before going forward.

when i did that, i did it right at the beginning of the file. it came up as Press any key to continue. Then, i pressed enter, and it exited out of the program. what the program does is ask for input to copy a file from the cd drive to the hard drive, asking for the letter of the cd drive. however, it never does this with the pause command there. essentially what i am trying to do is double click the batch file icon in windows, and have it automatically open dos and run. any ideas?

Not sure if this is what you want but will the command CHOICE work for you.
Here is a web page with an example of how it would be used. http://www.computerhope.com/batch.htm#1 |
