How do I keep the DOS command window open after running my MATLAB Compiler generated stand-alone application?

I have created a stand-alone application using the MATLAB Compiler. When I run it by double-clicking on the executable, a DOS command window opens up, displays something, and closes. I would like this window to stay open.

The ability to keep the DOS window open after running the MATLAB Compiler generated stand-alone application by double clicking it, is not available with MATLAB Compiler 4.6 (R2007a).

The DOS window closing when an application terminates is an operating system functionality.

As a workaround to this issue, you would first need to open a DOS window and execute your application from within it, as follows

1. Go to "Start->Run"

2. Type "cmd" and press "OK"

3. In the DOS command window, navigate to the directory containing your application and type the name of the executable.
