EXIT--Notes

Using exit with the command interpreter When you use the MS-DOS COMMAND command to start a new instance of the   command interpreter, you can use the EXIT command to return to the old command interpreter. Also, while running some programs, you can run the MS-DOS command interpreter and then use the EXIT command to return to your program. For more information about command interpreters, see the <COMMAND> command. If you are not using the /P (permanent) switch with the inital copy of COMMAND.COM, the EXIT command quits the command interpreter. You must then specify at the command prompt the location of the COMMAND.COM file to start the command interpreter again. 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.
