Hi, new to DOSBox, running an old accounting software in full-screen, need to be able to terminate the DOSBox shell when the accounting program exits (so the user does not have to exit full-screen then close the DOSBox window). Can this be done?

Hi anwershah,

one way is to use a batch.
It could maybe look like this:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO ------------------------
ECHO Starting program....
ECHO ------------------------

<PROGRAMNAME HERE>
EXIT

Hope that's what you need

Vince

Or just add

1exit

on the last line of the [autoexec] section of the config file.
