I created a batch file that runs the DOSBox with a DOS application in it:

c:\
cd "c:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73"
dosbox -exit -conf "C:\Documents and Settings\SCARPT\Local Settings\Application Data\DOSBox\dosbox-0.73.conf"
C:\

When the application finishes, it doesn't exit the DOSBox.

Am I using it wrong, or is there a problem with the -exit option?

Thanks.

tony

you are using it wrong.
-exit is to be used when you specify an executable in command line arguments that you intend to run.

if you use a configfile you can add exit at the bottom of configfile
