dos window disappears in Windows

Comment:

hello When I run a batch file in windows, the dos screen flashes momentarily then disappears. is there a way to cause the display to remain on the windows screen. Or better yet to have the result of the batch file (a four digit number) displayed on my windows desktop thanks for any help on this

You can get it to stay open by putting a PAUSE as the last line. To put it on the desktop, if the part which puts out your 4 digit number is 'generate", try this generate >"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\4digit.txt" You'll need to tailor the path to suit. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
