What on earth for? If the program is complete, just quit.

In my opinion, there is very little worse than setting up a chain of 
long-running programs to run overnight, then coming back in the morning 
expecting that they will all be finished only to discover that one of 
those programs is stupidly sitting them with a "Press any key to quit" 
message, stopping all the rest from running.

In my opinion, such behaviour should be a shooting offense.

*wink*

What yes/no prompt? How do you select No?
