Running a DOS Batch file shows the DOS window. But when the job is finished - the window still remains .. it won't close.
This is on a Win2K machine.

Furthermore .. how do I run several windows programs from one Batch file - without having to wait for each one to finish before starting the next.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Crate a Batch File containing ..

START xxxxx.exe
START xxxxx.exe

using START will execute the program and continue running the next command.

Did you ever find the answer to your first question re: closing of the DOS window? I'm having the same difficulty and cannot find a simple solution.

Maybe this will work on NT. It does in win98. Right click on your batch file icon, click on properties, click on program, check close on exit, and if you want change run to minimize.
