 I do not remember ever having this exact problem, but I had some kind
 of problem at one time with something not closing, but do not remember
 the details.

 Anyway if you look at the properties of the "pif" file under the
 program tab is a box that you can check to close on exit.  Try that
 along with having the last line of your batch file read "exit" and see
 if this helps.

 Maybe this is something you have already tried but it is all I could
 think of right now.
