`pause`; or: system "pause"; Although pause is not documented in either cmd /? or command.com /?, it is built in to command.com. You'll see if you open command.com in notepad. Cmd.exe spawns command.com when a command is executed, but cmd.exe wraps more functionality around it, including 32-bit capability instead of 16. /g -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
