What is the problem, exactly?  You just described the normal startup for 
the get_iplayer CLI.  Was there supposed to be something else after that 
final "Run"?  Or did you mean to say that the command prompt window 
DISappears?  If you're running get_iplayer.cmd by double-clicking from 
Windows Explorer, then of course it will disappear.  You haven't given 
it anything to do, so it will print the full TV search results then 
exit, followed by the exit of the host command prompt.  Run the 
get_iplayer CLI from the Start menu or the appropriate tile, where it is 
configured to launch a persistent shell session.  If that doesn't 
describe your situation, then some further explanation is required 
because I don't see a problem in what you described.
