SUMMARY
=======
Batch file programs, executing on Windows 95 and Windows 98 computers, may not
close the MS-DOS Prompt window if the batch file was not called with a 'command
/c' prefix.
This causes the Advertised Program Manager (APM) to think the program is still
running, which then prevents the APM from running other advertised programs
until the MS-DOS Prompt is manually closed.
When distributing batch file programs to Windows 9x clients, the following syntax
should be used for the Command line:
command /c batchfile.bat
Additional query words: prodsms windows 95 98 batch APM
