'Create a one-line batch file ..' How?

[Parangles]

I'm trying to get rid of an error msg in a DOS program :
"Your pop-up program is ready to run. When you have finished using it, press CTRL+C to close this window and return to Windows" ( window will not close except ctrl+c )

I don't understand the following instructions that I found.
Appreciate if you could walk me through them step by step. eg. at C:/ prompt type xyz and then type abc etc

SOLUTION:
" You can configure the batch file to close automatically using the following steps:
1. Create a one-line batch file that reads: command.com /c
2. Save the batch file with any name (such as Close.bat). Save the file in the Windows folder.
3. Use the right mouse button to click the shortcut that calls the batch file or PIF that calls the TSR, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
4. Click the Program tab.
5. On the Batch File line, enter the name of the batch file you created in step 2 (such as Close.bat).
6. Click OK. "

THanks !

PS: This is a DOS reservation program that I just loaded on a new PC and am getting the error message when I try to
load the previously backed up data files into the program.

'Create a one-line batch file ..' How?

Go into Any TEXT editor, like Notepad. Or if you use a Word processor, make sure to save the file as TEXT. (ie: with the .txt extention)

Do what step one sez: type in ONE line that states:

command.com /c

and then just save the file.

Thanks Two Rails!
My newly created file 'closepop.txt' is in Windows, and its name entered in the batch file line in the desktops .PIF shortcut to the program, but when I hit ' restore' command(from backed up data) I'm still just getting the error msg.

Please look at my source for a solution:

PS: is that a space between com and / ?
Ive tried both with and without a space.

PPS: I changed the filename to closepop.bat but its still not working.

Dooh... slaping self in the head.... I forgot, somehow... to remind you to rename your file with a .bat file extention!! Very sorry.... It should be:

closepop.bat

Give that a try!

TwoRails.... on one rail on that post! LOL
