If you want to start a Command Line application in the same window, I think call would be useful.
Call
I don't think so.
call /?
Calls one batch program from another.
start /?
Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.
She is running a program,
not a batch file!
Try the start command I suggested earlier.
PS:
I forgot to credit Dias for the suggestion to
always use the title, even if blank. I discovered myself, somewhat accidentally, that the start command was behaving badly without it, but it was Dias who explained the "why to do it". Thanks again DIAS.
Also, Isabel, I might add that you can
sometimes run a command from a batch file
without the start command and
get away with it, but it is not the right way to go. You will do much better, if you follow the rules and use start every time you want to start a program from a batch file.
