Welcome to the board Richard

hmmm... I'm actually having the same results with a BATCH file.

SCRIPT
run '%COMSPEC% /C C:\temp\test.bat'
? 'All done, cya'
EXIT 1

BATCH
@echo off
copy C:\Backup\*.* c:\eraseme
exit

Also tried this for script.

run 'C:\temp\test.bat'
? 'All done, cya'
EXIT 1

But same results, the Dos prompt does not return until I press the enter key. I tried creating a shortcut as well and then tried to run the shortcut, but that did not work either.

Still testing, checking.

I'm using KiXtart v4.21 on Windows 2000 SP4
KIX32.EXE
