   Because you did not use the /b switch (to reuse the current shell), the   
   program loads in a new shell (which opens a new console window).  You   
   can use the title parameter of the 'start' command to specify the title   
   for that new window.   
      
   The /wait switch means leaving open the console window for the current   
   shell until the called program/script exits in the other window.  You'll   
   end up with two windows open: for the console shell where you ran   
   'start' and the one for within which the program/script runs.
