Sure . . . start the program from a batch file and when
you close it the batch file will continue to execute . . .
put in whatever commands you want . . .

Greg -
You say "Looks like the bat file continued to run because
(the) command window closed before I exited the GUI
program". If the bat file continued to run it WOULD NOT
close after you exited the GUI program. Try this test and
prove to yourself that it works. Copy this bat file to
xx.bat and run it yourself:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\Wordpad.exe"
echo.
echo.
echo Hello, I'm still running . . .
echo.
echo.
pause
After you activate this it will start Wordpad. Then close
Wordpad and the command window is there . . .
Thx

A windows program will run and the batch will continue a soon as he program has started. A Dos program will run and the batch will wait for it to finish. There are various ways of changing this. The easiest is Start, Type start /?.
The /w switch says 'wait for completion before proceeding'
