Answer 1

You can just put a pause command in the last line of your batch file:

@echo off
echo Hey, I'm just doing some work for you.
pause

Will give you something like this as output:

Hey, I'm just doing some work for you.

Press any key to continue ...

Note: Using the @echo prevents to output the command before the output is printed.
