once you double-click the script and it finishes -- what wrong with 
exiting? what would you expect?
do you just want it to sit in the terminal so you can do more? you could 
end your script with a call to open another terminal session :)
wait -- serially -- why bother having it double-clickable if you need the 
terminal open afterwards? just open a terminal, run your script, and 
continue using the term session.
or ... something i am not getting here? ... (possible, i spose).
