How can I make my commands run in NppExec run in cmd, as opposed to the built in console, which doesn't work with things like: "Press any key to continue", which only works when you press enter?

You want to take a look at cmd /? output and http://ss64.com/nt/. Using start along with cmd /c will give an external window and using cmd /k will keep it in the nppexec console. One thing I don't like about the /k option is that it really isn't true as 'any key' doesn't do the trick and Enter needs to be used.

Test it out with cmd /k pause and start cmd /c pause.

Notice the start option has the window close, so any history will go away too. If that's important then substitute /k for the /c and use exit when done.
