If there is a semicolon ";" in your TMP environment variable, you may
not be able to return to the Programmer's Workbench by typing "exit"
after selecting "DOS Shell" from the File menu in PWB.

Since the TMP environment variable is used to specify a single
directory rather than a path, the semicolon character should not be
used.

To re-create this situation, type the following at the command line:

   set TMP=C:\TMP;

Then select DOS Shell from within PWB. Typing "exit" on the DOS
command line will not bring you back into PWB.

To correct the problem, remove the semicolon from the end of the TMP
environment variable.
