xcopy32 and batch files

I'm running xcopy32 in a batch file to copy files. This batch file is being used by multiple people running Windows 98. I want the DOS window to close when finished. I've tried the "Exit" command, but xcopy32 doesn't return to the DOS command line. The DOS window says "Finished" and has to be closed manually. Any suggestions?

I tried that but it only works if you enable it at each workstation. I need to make it work from the bat file.

Have you tried the end command, that may work. Let me get this straight they are executing it from th network? If that is the case make their shorcuts point to the pif file on the network

DAMN!!! Peole, people...This isn't a hard one!!! Just put the CLS command on the last line of your batch file!!! Then the window will close on its own.
