Greg, didn't like my use of the terminalogy, "returning from"
an ALT-X.    I guess he wants me to use the term "start" or
"restart instead".    It 's strictly a matter of semantics. 
I never said the two actions of ALT-X and ALT-E were the
same.....I said that:
1. I return from an ALT-X
2. I return from an ALT-E

As we all know, a different command is required
to restart Arachne after an ALT-E than after an
ALT-X. I think we all agree on that...so...let's leave 
it at that.

I have a batch file named X.bat....see it below:

x.bat
-------
exit
arachne
-------
end of x.bat

When I type "X", then I get Arachne whether
I used ALT-E or ALT-X to reach a DOS prompt.
