When debugging a program with CodeView, certain operations cause it to
exit to DOS without giving any warning or error message. Some of the
things that cause this behavior are trying to access help, setting a
watch variable, and returning from a DOS shell.
This problem occurs because not enough file handles are being
allocated at boot time with "files=XX" in CONFIG.SYS. An error message
is printed, but then over written before most people can see it.
The solution is to make sure files are set to 20 in CONFIG.SYS.
