Well, thats an easy one!

Click with your 2nd mouse button on your ICON for a particular DOS app that 
you want the window to stay open after completion. That will bring up a
selection for that icon. Click on SETTINGS. Go to the SESSION tab of the
settings notebook. There you will notice a "Close window on exit" statement
with a check mark in the box. Click on the check mark with your 1st mouse
button. That will remove the check mark. Now close your settings notebook
with a double click in the upper left corner.

Your DOS Window will now stay open after you have exited the program. You
can close that Window by double clicking in the upper left corner.
