	Greetings. I am a C programmer with a bit of 8088 assembly
	"fooling around". I am writing a program that has to load
	command.com (shell). It works, but I want it to display
	a little message that reminds the user of what they did.
	(just so they don't run my program again, instead of "exit"-
	ing back to it).

	I know it's possible because WordPerfect does it. Every time
	one presses <enter>, after exiting to shell, a short message
	appears, telling the user to type "exit" to return to
	WP. I want to know how to chain in such a message. I don't
	mind creating a modified copy of command.com and then running
	it.

	Anyone?

	Take care. I will summarize.
