39609 2002-03-18 05:39:00 Hey there everyone,
was wondering if you could all help me.

I have a few programs which i have programme on my XP Pro computer, which are dos based (ANSI C). No problem in them working, but XP closes the window down once the program completes - this is true for any DOS based program on my computer. The only way around this is to load a dos box (start-->Run-->cmd.exe) and move to the required directory.

Does anyone know how I can go about making the window remain open until it is told to close (ie: through click on the X)?

Thanks alot,
Jonathan Giles.
