Re: dos window

Instead of starting it by 'double clicking', start up a windows command shell. Start the dos shell first and then start the app from there.

Start -> Run -> "cmd"

Or the thing you double click could "`cmd /k perl script.pl`". The /k option causes the CMD to stay after the command has exited. The OP may not want to burden the user with having to type "`exit`", though the cmd window can (usually) be closed with the 'x' in the top right corner. I humbly seek wisdom.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
