Methods Used To Exit MS-DOS Shell |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Customers using the MS-DOS Shell that comes with DOS 5.0 find the easiest way to exit is to press Alt-F4. Shift-F9 (similar to WordPerfect's Go To Dos feature) takes the customer out to DOS, placing the MS-DOS Shell in memory. Customers may find it difficult to tell if that shell is in memory (Shift-F9) or if they exited out of the shell by pressing Alt-F4. If the customer is unsure if they pressed Shift-F9 to put the shell in memory, or Alt-F4 to exit the shell, have them type "EXIT" at the current DOS prompt. This will take them back into the DOS Shell or back into Windows. The customer can then use Alt-F4 to exit properly. Typing "EXIT" will either take the customer back to the DOS Shell or will give a Bad Command error message. If they receive the Bad Command error message, this would indicate that Shell is loaded in memory. If they type "EXIT" and then Alt-F4, they are able to exit the shell without it being placed in memory. *This information is given as a troubleshooting option. |
