Ryan and Ken gave me great ideas.

I added the pause Ken suggested and the /q/s that Ryan suggested.

I discovered that my pathname in this command needed to have the slashes 
flipped.  In my experience, many commands do not care if the forward or 
back slash are used, but this one did.  I usually use the backslashes 
for all windows stuff, but did not bother flipping them on this process, 
since everything else had worked without backslashes.

Thanks, once again for the help.

I guess I better be more careful of the backslashes.
