Batch file - copy file from parent folder - why the cmd file closed adter the run?

Question

I'm using this code to copy files from the parent folder. But as soon as the code finish the execution, teh CMD window is closed. So I cannot read the result to see what the problem is.

Here is my code:

COPY ..\File.*
@echo The script is complete.

This need to copy the file "File.exe" from the parent folder to the current. then print a success message, and stay open, so I'll can see if there is any error message.

Add a pause at the end, that way you have to press a key before the batch file closes.
