The batch file works ok but it leaves a blank command (DOS)window on
the screen. The only thing in the command window is a flashing cursor. I
would like close this window using the batch file after the file executes.

You cannot . . .
1. Opening and closing windows is a Windows function.
2. BATch files execute DOS functions in a DOS window.
3. Windows functions cannot be executed in a DOS
environment.
