Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Arachne v190j1
OS: FreeDOS
RAM: 1.5 GB
Free conventional memory when Arachne is running: 596 KB

I have noticed that Alt+E/Exit feature works only if you remain on 
the same drive where Arachne is installed.

I have Arachne installed in D:\Arc, here is what happens:

- from Arachne hit Alt+E which takes you to DOS
- go to any folder/subfolder on drive D
- type Exit from any DOS prompt to go back to Arachne

Everything works fine as long as I stay within drive D. If I go to 
drive C and then type Exit I get the following error:

bad command or filename - "d:\arc\"
CHDIR faled for '..'
bad command or filename - "arachne"

Is this normal behaviour? I have just upgraded ram to 1.5 GB and have 
run into some problems with FreeDos (all fixed now). Installation 
path D:\ARC might be an issue too. I don't think going to drive C 
caused any trouble before memory upgrade.

Below are memory stats.

Tnx, Lester
