Take note of requirements when putting a second line in a button.

To keep the TaskDialog on the screen, put the process in a loop;

do forever
  taskdialog /A%ad /AC%ac /AE%ae %CustomButtons /I /L %title %instruction %text

  switch %_taskdialog_button
  case 1000
    echo You pressed the %b1 button
    echo The IP address(es) of local computer are %_ip
  case 1001
    echo You pressed the %b2 button
    echo The index of the current adapter is %_ipadapter
  case 1002
    echo You pressed the %b3 button
    echo There are %_ipadapters adapters in the system
  case 1003
    echo You pressed the %b4 button
    echo Adapter # IP Address
    do kount=0 to %@dec[%_ipadapters]
      echo %@formatn[9.0,%kount] %@ipaddressn[%kount]
    enddo
  case 1004
    echo You pressed the %b5 button
    leave
  endswitch
enddo

Add leave to the case 1004 statement to exit the TaskDialog.
