pause duration at end of batch

Comment:
At the end of my small batch file, I have inserted "cls" and "Exit" The batch file closes so fast at the end of its function that I hardly even see it open in the first place. Is there a command to pause for about 5 seconds before returning to windows just long enough to see...for example...the line.."copy successful"???? thanks ...JimW

Null, Thanks for response. I'll try this right away. Most of the instructional material on Batch files is written well above novice level. Most witers assume people writing batch files are more familiar with the language and not just wanting to learn. Thanks again JimW
