I type exit at the prompt and get the question "terminate batch job ?". What is this, Microsoft, the 1950s ?

You're right. I should throw that garbage cmd.exe out.

Seriously, install VirtualPC or VMware and install Linux or FreeBSD.
And don't bother with PowerShell. PowerShell is shit because it's not bash.

In an ideal world I would always have a proper bash prompt, however when I have to use someone else's machine and have no admin rights I'm often stuck with terrible M$ stuff.
Well, I did title this thread `DOS'. I like command lines, and dislike having to "create enterprise solutions" in Microsoft VISUAL C++

>"terminate batch job ?".
You're in another program context, and you expect to have exclusive control of the console?
If you don't want that stop running batch files or programs at startup(since thats what it means by batch job:you type 'exit' while the console is controlled by some program executing at startup(probably some console hack or DOS emulator) running on top of cmd.exe).
