I'm having a problem, I think. 😒

Whenever I run DOSBox and playing a game that can only be run with a BAT file, the exit command I've put into the shortcut won't comply. I have the command in the autoexec section of the .conf file.

Here's an example:

1@echo off
2mount c ".."
3c:
4cls
5KEEN7.bat
6exit

When I exit the game, DOSBox is still running and I see that little box with out-dated adverts for Commander Keen. Usually, DOSBox should terminate on itself here. But it doesn't.
I'm using the latest version of Daum (27 jan 2014). Could that be the culprit?

Try using "call keen7.bat" to execute the keen7.bat and then return to you batch file.
Using "keen7.bat" directly means that it doesn't return to your batch file.

EDIT: Thanks. It terminates correctly now.
