You can set up a DOS window on Windoze95 so it will automatically close on program exit. So, if you make a shortcut to your DOS program, just go to the shortcut's properties screen and choose that option. (I'm not at a Windoze box right now or I'd give you exact details on how to get there. sorry.)
