hide command prompt window when running batch file ?

[scott]

Hi,

I have a program that copies a csv file to COM1 using a DOS based
application. When I use a windows GUI for this app and when copying the csv
to com1 using a batch file, a command prompt is displayed briefly then
disappears on completion of the file.

Is there a command I can enter into the batch file stop this display i.e run
in the background ?

Thanks for any information.
Scott.

Schedule the job to run in the background, using either
at.exe (job to run at a fixed time) or soon.exe (job to run
within x seconds). Soon.exe comes with the Win2000
Resource Kit.

This probley won't run the programe in the back round but
you can put a ecko off in the batch file =, to not display
the text
