Windows XP dos program

[patrick gallagher]

I have an old dos program which starts up in windows (XP) takes manual input at screen prompts, appears to run OK but the output formerly was only ever displayed on screen - at this point the window closes so i can not capture the output. Suggestions welcome.

What might work is creating a shortcut which runs the application within a cmd command.

If the application shortcut points to c:\test.exe at the moment, change it to:

CMD /K "C:\test.exe"

That should load it within the cmd console and leave it open after finishing
