- I haven't seen this, but have a possible explanation. Did you by any chance
- add /P to the command.com options for your DOS window? The /P option on
- command.com makes the session permanent (ie you can type exit all you want and
- it won't really go away), which may make it impossible to close the window
- normally.
-
- This would only explain the problem if CMD.EXE has a similar option, and you
- used that as well. I don't have an OS/2 system in front of me, so I can't
- check right now.
