That is kind of confusing to me, but for regular Windows XP go to start>all programs>accessories and then click on command promt and it will stay open till you close out the window.\n\nJohn B.

To simply get out of the editor, you should be able to type:\n\nESC (the Esc key)\n:\nq!\n\nThat should get you back to the shell prompt and not save the file.

I did it with a restart in DOS mode or a force delete with some programs. Just make sure that there is no program that run it at that moment.

Try this-Startup with the "S" key on your keyboard held down. At the prompt type /sbin/fsck  -fy. If no errors are reported type exit,if errors-type it again until ok. When system fully boots to the finder go to utilities and open disk utility and "repair permissions". If you don't leave your computer on "overnite" you could also do this: Go to "utilities" folder,select terminal.app ; at prompt type sudo sh /etc/monthly. It will ask for your password. Then do the same command,but,substitute the word "monthly" with "weekly" then again substitute"weekly" with "daily"\nNote:"weekly" will take longer to perform,be patient. When done type "exit" and quit "terminal" See,that was easy!

If you're trying to open a command window and have it look a certain way, then you'll definitely have to change the syntax a bit.  So, let's look at what you're doing first.  I'm going to assume that the command line you've given us is literally what you're typing in the 'run' box.  Let's break it down a bit,\n\n1) cmd\nIf you enter this by itself, does a DOS command window open?  If not, then you have some other issues.  But for the sake of this question, I'll assume it works.\n\n2) cmd [/C] [/T:fg]\nGet rid of any and all square brackets [  ] .. those are used on the help screen to delimit the start and stop of the different command line options.  They are not meant to be typed in.\n\n3) cmd /C\nThis will execute whatever you want in a DOS command window, then immediately close the command window.  That's why it's disappearing so quickly.  If you want the DOS window to stay open then use,\n\ncmd /K\n\n4) /T:fg\nThe 'fg' are placeholder variables.  'f' means Foregroud, and 'g' means backGround.  But 'fg' is not supposed to be typed in,  it's just meant to show that there are two variables and their order.  To actually use the /T option, then you'll need to look at the options on the COLOR command, use COLOR /? to see those.\n\nSo, for instance, if you wanted a blue background with white text, then you would enter\n\ncmd /T:17\n\n5) One last quirk, if you put the command and options in this order, you'll get an error.\n\ncmd /K /T:17\n\nThe command options need to be switched around for this.  I don't know why, has to do with how DOS processes the ":" symbol as a label or part of a drive name, or some such nonsense.  \n\nSo the correct command with options to create a non-closing DOS window with a blue background and white text is:\n\ncmd /T:17 /K\n\nFinally) if you want your chosen colors to be persistent any time you open a dos window without have to type all those command options, then open a window with just\n\ncmd\n\nthen, right click on the title bar of the DOS window and select "Properties".  Make all the changes you want to many aspects of a DOS box, including background/font color, size, fonts, layout, etc.  When you click "OK" to save, then you'll be prompted to save the properties .. choose "Save properties for future windows with the same title."\n\nHope this helps!

Well friend I suffered the same problem tried to do what was offered u but didn't work cause all the other rights had been striped off. However this is the solution. Sorry if the search solution worked for u, it didn't work for me.\nClick Start Menu then Right-click and go to open, you will get a open folder with Programs. click it that to open, when it does, you will see the command prompt icon, click that which gives you your black screen with command prompt ( remember you couldn't get this at the Run prompt because it is disabled.) but now u get it. type taskmgr on the command prompt. u r there... long but works..
