I've been having this problem when I run little DOS programs.
When I double click the program, the dos window pops up and runs the program but automatically exits the program before I can do anything or see the results of the program.

Any ideas ?

TIA.

Yes, don't double click the program. Open a DOS window and run the program from there.

ahh.. ok. found the dos command prompt, but I'm not familiar w/ how to impliment the run command in the dos window.

let's say the program is located in:

C:\Program Files\Internet\Baby\baby.exe

I get the C:\> prompt when I run the dos window, so what would be my next step?

cd program files\internet\baby (or cd progra~1\internet\baby)
baby.exe
