 Notes


    Using exit with the command interpreter

    When you use the MS-DOS command command to start a new command inter-
    preter, you can use the exit command to return to the old command inter-
    preter.  Also, while running some programs, you can run the MS-DOS com-
    mand interpreter and then use the exit command to return to your program.
    For more information about command interpreters, see the command command.

    Using exit when the command program is loaded as permanent

    If you start the COMMAND.COM program with the /p (permanent) switch, the
    exit command has no effect.
