[Tutor] Two questions on MS-DOS

[Gregory Tucker]

Hi,

I think it would be cleaner to wrap the python script in a DOS batch. You
can use the pause command in the batch file, without touching the Python.

I believe your other question was answered already. And I just learned that
answer as well.

Regards,
Greg
