how can I keep dos command window open after runwait

[speedi]

When I am debugging a runwait command, how can I keep the DOS command window open so I can see what errors might have occurred??

The window closes so fast I can't read it...

Thanks!

assuming you are using @ComSpec: just change the /C to /K

These lines are not using @comspec --- they are like this: Run("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\XXCOPY.EXE " etc. etc.

Can I use @comspec for this line??? Thanks!

How about:

Run(@COMSPEC & "/k C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\XXCOPY.EXE C:\Temp1\*.* C:\Temp2", @TempDir, @SW_SHOW)

In DOS, you can add the command "Pause" to the end, and you can see the error. for example, if you wish to edit a autoexec.bat file, you could put the following

c:\dos\loadhigh.exe
pause

For DOS, the "Pause"command will pause the script until you press a key. this way you can see what is happening.
