[AccessD] this should be an easy one -- on Windows shortcuts

Thanks Marty, but it just flashes and that's it -- can't tell a thing. I did
delete the @Echo Off statement too.

Shold the statement I used work as I expected, with Access remaining open?
Right now, the compact does take place, but Access shuts down when it's
done. Is there a switch for "remain open?"
