   EXIT does not close the batch window when the batch is launched by   
   double clicking the batch file. Leaving the batch window blank does.   
      
   On Win9x systems, add CLS as the last line in the batch and that should   
   take care of it. If not, add ECHO OFF just above it to make sure the   
   screen will be blank when CLS is issued.
