OP gerdigos Babel fish G Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 76 Athens, Greece	I am writing an alias to ICMP ping machines using the ping command from the windows command line (winXP). Code: iping { if (!$1) { echo -a Syntax: /iping <nick\|ip\|hostname> \| halt } if (. isin $1) { run C:\WINDOWS\system32\ping.exe $1 } else { var %x = $address($1,5) if (%x == $null) { echo -a Nickname not in IAL, IAL not enabled, or IAL not filled up. Can't find user's IP or hostname. \| halt } else { %x = $gettok(%x,2,64) \| run C:\WINDOWS\system32\ping.exe %x } } } But this closes the command line window, after the ping command finishes. Does anyone have any idea how to keep the window alive? Thanks in advance.
