How is this done.
Is there a way to take the last note of anything, be it an instrument or voice and cause a prolonged and at level sustain of that note? I hear this done but I have no idea as to how to do it, or if I explained it so you know what I was trying to say.

Surgical cutting and pasting, making sure you only slice at zero-level points, then sticking together with judicial and tasteful crossovers?
If you can't get it sounding smooth you could always smother it in reverb or something.

Melodyne.
With melodyne, you can grab the note and drag it out over a much longer time period.
I used this very function on a saxophone note that was a quarter note on the last note of the song..... I wanted it held for the entire measure.... melodyne let me "stretch it" and the artifacts were not noticeable in the end result.
I have tried the surgical cut and paste and there are very often glitches in it that indicate the splice points. Melodyne does this very well.

I know that V-Vocal will let you stretch single notes, though I don't know exactly by how much - I've only ever used it for tightening up the timing of vocal notes.

I've used reverb for this, such as when one track stops short on the last note of the song. Say you've got a synth pad that slowly fades, and a guitar chord over it that stops too soon. You want the guitar to ring out longer to match the other track.
To fix that, I'll copy the last note of the guitar track to another track and insert a 100% wet reverb as a clip effect. Fade in the reverb-effected one in such a way that you don't hear it as a separate sound. Use a slip-edit to adjust the length of the tail.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Great suggestions, all. I'm enough of a tweaker I would try each of them and see what sounds best in a particular situation.  One more arrow for this quiver: 1. Split the last note you want to stretch to a separate clip 2. "Grab" the edge of the clip while holding ALT (I think) and drag it out to where you want it. The bottom edge of the clip should be yellow with a % listed for how much you are stretching it 3. Right click on the clip and go to the properties, then look for the audio stretching settings. You can choose between different options for vocal, monophonic, polyphonic, or bass sounds here- choose the one that sounds like the best match for the note you're stretching 4. Once out of the properties right click on the clip and choose Bounce to Clip I've had good results with this if I pick the right algorithm.
