Figures close after running script

I'm running matlab through the command line interface, and when I call it to run a specific script (e.g. matlab -nosplash -nodesktop <test.m), all the figures and plots I issue in the script test.m are closed (so I only glimpse them for a few seconds). Is there a way to keep the figures around?

João - put a pause call at the end of your code to temporarily halt the execution before the script ends. See the link for details on how to use this function.

This does not work. pause(n) does halt the execution for n seconds, but a simple pause or pause on does not halt it indefinitely. I'm also getting the following warning:

 Warning: Objects of graph2d.lineseries class exist - not clearing this class or any of its superclasses

Try putting this in somewhere near the end of your code:

uiwait(helpdlg('Examine the figures, then click OK to finish.'));
