That has been the case since I first used Arachne (v1.1).
And I test her out in MSDOS 6.20 - including all my customisation.
And, to return to the original question, Alt+E and EXIT work flawlessly for
me. Before the current automatic return to the drive:\directory we have now,
there was also Dev Teelucksingh's workaround that did the job whenever the
"current directory" became something different than Arachne's.
As it is, I always make sure that with every new version of Arachne I go
through all of my custom .ooks and make sure that they also return me to the
working Arachne directory. (Failing to do this meant that I often started with
one Arachne version but was returned to another Arachne version - it could get
quite confusing like that.) :)
Regards,
Ron
