That's correct, it doesn't. If I switch manually to prompt D:\> then 
Exit command works fine. I don't even have to go all the way to 
D:\ARC\>

FreeDOS has the special CDD command to switch to directories far away 
in the tree. Example:

at the prompt: C:\FDOS\BIN\>
type: cdd d:\arachne\system\dgi  - ent
this will take you to: D:\ARACHNE\SYSTEM\DGI\>

I found DOSSHELL.BAT in system\dgi folder. Not sure how to tell the 
bat to go back to D:\> or D:\ARC\>

Tnx
