Sorry about the double post, but try this batch file to exit to and use DOS>
echo off
mark
watchdg2 on
ctty aux2
echo Enter "EXIT" to return to TELIX
prompt $p$g
command.com
c:
cd\bbs
ctty con
watchdg2 off
release
exit


NOTE:  You will need the following files to accomplish the shell and get it
to work correctly:

IBMAUX.COM
WATCHDOG2.COM
MARK.COM
RELEASE.COM

If you can't find these, I will stick them on WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU in the
/pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS directory as DOSSHELL.ZIP.  Just let me know, though!

happy bbsing to ya!
