DEBUG EXIT — VMS 5.1-B

     If this command is given at the level of the "DBG>"  prompt  then
     it  causes  orderly  termination  of  the debugging session.  Log
     files are  closed,  screen  and  keypad  are  restored  to  their
     original state, and control is returned to DCL.

     Any exit handlers that you declare will be executed when  you  do
     an  EXIT from DEBUG.  This means that in some circumstances, EXIT
     will not get  you  back  to  DCL  (for  example,  if  you  hit  a
     breakpoint in your exit handler).  This enables you to debug your
     exit handlers.  If you want to get back to  DCL  without  running
     your exit handlers then use the QUIT command.

     When EXIT is given from a DO command list or an "@" command  file
     then  it  just  exits  the  DO list or the command file.  In this
     case, it does not end the debugging session.

 Format:

     EXIT
