How keep DOS window showing?

[Peter Rossiter]

I want to run a PING command from the DOS window in XP.

If I use Start > Run and enter my command then the DOS window flashes
up and then closes.

How do I get the window to stay there?

Hi

From Start>Run type in "cmd" - without the quotes.

Use Start > Run, but type in command instead.
