I have a 4 line batch file that just copies files: copynewr.bat copy c:\msgnet\obj\sign\cmdapi\release\X.exe m:\silentm\update copy c:\msgnet\sign_new\release\Y.exe m:\silentm\update copy c:\msgnet\obj\sign\monitor\release\Z.exe m:\silentm\update copy c:\msgnet\httpupdate\release\ZZ.exe m:\silentm\update When I run the command from a terminal window /usr/local/bin/wineconsole "c:/msgnet/database/copynewr.bat" It runs, copies the files and exits and I get my command prompt back for the terminal. When I create a GNOME desktop launcher icon and have the above as the command to run the wineconsole never exits. What can I do so after clicking the launcher on the GNOME desktop it will copy the files and then exit. Thanks, Jerry
