It is not practical to attempt a full tutorial here on Windows Console commands (formerly known as MSDOS). This page summarises the essential commands and techniques, to enable you to get started with SNDAN and, maybe, develop a taste for what can be a very fast way of working. It is intended primarily for those who haev notused a Console window before. Terminology. There is a number of equivalently meaning terms used to refer to a Console window. It may be a 'DOS session' or a 'DOS window' (where DOS may also be 'MSDOS'), a 'terminal window,' the term most used in Unix systems such as Linux, a 'command-line window', or a 'command shell' (from the notion that it acts as a safe and convenient 'shell' around the Operating System's main commands). All these terms mean essentially the same thing, which is called here a "Console window". There is one linguistic difference. Windows Explorer (and Windows documentation generally) refers to files and 'Folders'. The latter is supposed to be a 'friendly' word. In a Console session, however, the older term 'directory' is still more widely used, and is the basis of many of the command names.

By default an rb file is interpreted in a command console, and will open its own unless run from one.

Usually the solution is to run 'cmd' and start your script from there, then the console window will persist.
