Keep command window open after batch file

[Howard Delman]

Is there a way to keep the command window open after running a batch
file under WinXP? I want to see the program's messages.

Under Win98, under "properties" of the batch file, there was a check box
"close on exit" which could be unchecked to keep the window open. There
does not appear to be anything similar under WinXP.

Just put "pause" in the batchfile at the end (without quotes).
It will stop and prompt you to hit any key before closing.
