cscript : how to keep the console window open when an error occurs ?

Hello all,

I've got some scripts which use CSCRIPT.EXE to run when I click them.  They 
open a console-like window which allows me to see the "wscript.echo" output 
they generate.  So far, so good.

The problem is that whenever something/anything goes wrong causing the 
script to terminate it also closes the console-like window.

... which means that I can't read the error message about what caused the 
script to terminate. :-(

tl;dr:
Is there a setting/way to have cscript.exe wait on error-exit (so I can read 
the error message) ?

Remark:
I've just checked the commandline switches, but did not see anything like 
it.
