Yes, that's it. The other suggestion just opens the command prompt rather than running the ping.

So where does one read about /k and the other command modifiers?

By trying the '/?' switch, for different command-line programs like
'Cmd /?' as i wrote. Should work for wellbehaved Command-line programs.
(Or reading it in a book, looking it up on the net or asking a friend.)

Ta very much,

You're welcome.

When I try to run commands like 'ping' and 'tracert' from the Start/Run box, a small command prompt screen pops up and runs through the process and closes too quickly to read.

'Cmd /k String'

Try:
Cmd /k Ping 17.112.152.32
Then, at the promt, demand:
Cmd /?
