Repeatable here with your code and with REPEAT UNTIL FALSE.

But if you type in the code at the BASIC command prompt it's fine, or 
even save as file and CHAIN. The problem here is using the following 
command in a taskwindow: *Basic -quit TEST

So I can't see it's an issue with either BASIC or TaskWindow, more 
likely ShellCLI?
