title: Pass a PAUSE command to a START command in a batch file
body: <p>Let's say I have a batch file with a bunch of lines each starting with <code>START</code> to run commands simultenously and I want each a new window that pops up to just pause when it's finished, instead of just closing, so that I could read the summary at the end.</p>
  
  <p><code>start myapp.exe &amp;&amp; pause</code> doesn't work as the <code>pause</code> command just gets executed in the main window and doesn't get passed down with <code>START</code>. <code>CMD /k</code> works to prevent the window, but what I'd like to avoid that and use <code>PAUSE</code>.</p>
  
  <p>It's important that I run these simultanously and I don't want to create a separate batch file for each line.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
