I have a VB.NET program that kicks of a shell. How do I get the shell to not close immediately when it is done?<br />
<br />
Should I use something with more options than the Shell command, like ProcessStartInfo, or do I just need to pass in a readline operation with the shell command so that it waits for me to press enter before closing?<br />
