Shortcut Command-Line Switches

[Angst]

I want to create and run shortcuts for tracert.exe and pine.exe. When I run
them, the window simply closes after execution. I know there are
command-line switches to tell the window to stay open after execution . . .
anybody know what it is?

Also, I would be great to have a full list, or know where I can find such a
list, of all shortcut switches.

Thanks . . .

Create a shortcut, with the "target" set as cmd /k tracert something.com
The /k hold the command window open after completion

If you open a command window, type help cmd to get all option for cmd

just help to get a list of DOS-like features available.

Thanks heaps Val! I talked to Microsoft and they tryed to tell me that it
wasn't possible. I knew it was; I had done it years ago but just couldn't
remember how.

Figgers that M$ people wouldn't know how to do things that M$ software does
all the time.
Sometimes is useful to read the help material that some poor schmuck slaved
over, even if it was
a decade ago.
