Okay, I just made this great animation, now how do I set it so that it stays at the last frame of the animation without it starting over again?

You nead to have two animations. One is "your great animation". And another is the last pose of that great animation which is called "your great pose". A pose animation have to be made as a loop animation.
If you play them as a gesture, you can make a gesture sequence below.

Start Animation: your great animation
--- Wait: until animations are done
Start Animation: your great pose

Hope this helps you. :)

I may not know all the facts about animation, but I suspect a different way than above is thus:

I have read that if you run a "loop" when you upload the animation, it will play out the section after the loop after the loop ends. That is:

Frames 1-30 are a loop of a man hitting himself in the head.
Frames 31-60 are the man falling on his back.

If you set the "loop" to be 0-50%, it will loop frames 1-30. Once the animation end is triggered, it will play out frames 31-60 before stopping.

I have not tested this, I have only read it.

I would assume that the same applies for pre-loop animation as well. That is:

Frames 1-49 are a man doing a great animation.
Frame 50 is the man doing a great pose.

Set the loop to 100%-100% and it should play 1-49 and then loop on 50.

If I am incorrect, you should be able to test this in the animation uploader before you actually spend L$10 to upload. If I am incorrect, I would love to know without having to test it myself.

I'd stick to seagels method, its what i use and is easier to manipulate.

I have never noticed a loop option that only allows you to loop a percentage of an animation during the initial upload process......am i missing something?

Yes, I've just known that it works well. Thank you, Stickman. We can save L$10. :)

Wow, this is eye opening. It gives me so many ideas. Thanks.
