Keeping Ping DOS window open?

[Trs80]

When I run Ping from the DOS command prompt, the Ping data returns in a DOS
window........but the window closes after it finishes. How do I keep the
DOS window open after it finishes so I can view the data?
thanks!

I suspect you're not running ping from the Command Prompt -
you're probably running it from the Start/Run box. If so then
this might help:

cmd /c ping www.google.com & pause

Also note that DOS is a legacy operating system introduced
some thirty years ago. It is rarely used these days and does
not exist under WinXP, inspite of its similarity to the Command
Prompt.

You mean you are doing "ping" from the RUN field?
Try CMD from the RUN field...

Or...

cmd /k ping www.google.com
--> Click OK
