In a bat file it is easier to have Pause as the last line.

**
That did the trick - and adding exit after the pause closes the window after pressing a key.

Thanks

If you run a DOS command line from the RUN window, the DOS window closes as soon as it has finished.
If you want the window to remain open, type "cmd" into run to first open the DOS window. Then type
in your DOS command.
If you want to use a BAT file or something like that, add a line for the "cmd" instruction.
