My first level wad

Lumpmod closes the instant you open it because it's a command line program. In order to use it, you open a DOS prompt, navigate to the SRB2 directory, and type "lumpmod filename.wad add MAP01D filename.txt" where filename.wad is your WAD file and filename.txt is a plain text file with the level header information everyone is showing on here.
The level itself is pretty average. For a first try, it's amazing, however. The entire thing could use to be a little wider. A general guideline is that you don't want a passage skinnier than about 256 fracunits across, which is 4 squares in WadAuthor's default grid. Otherwise quite solid, and very nice for a first attempt at wadding.

Thank you me lard.
So, anywho, how do I open the DOS prompt? Is it simply opening up 'run' and typing what you did or typing the path to lumpmod and then what you said?
Anyway, thankyou all for your kind gestures. I'll take note of what you said to make my future levels bigger and better.
...just wait guys. Soon I'll be asking how to fuse level wads into one wad and all that.
Future glimpse:
1) Dragon Valley (grassy area, big woop)
2) Chaos Woods (ooh a forest :P)
3) Dark Mountain (act 1 outside, act 2 inside)
4) ZTaimat's castle (now who didn't see this coming?)
5) Arch void (for those who found the emeralds)
... hmm i think I'm gonna need more than one sheet of graph paper a level :P
