It's not at the last line, and when running other batch files, even with one
as simple as :
copy path\file_a d:\detination_path
copy path\file_b d:\detination_path
copy path\file_c d:\detination_path
copy path\file_d d:\detination_path
copy path\file_e d:\detination_path
copy path\file_f d:\detination_path
copy path\file_g d:\detination_path
On some computers, sometimes (not always even on the same PC) need to press
a key to make the batch file goes on too.
Any idea ? or it's just a bug on the DOS prompt under Windows 2000 ?
