- CONFIGURATION: NetWare v3.01 shell on an AST 33MHz machine with DOS v4.01

- PROBLEM: The user kept getting "System Halted, Invalid COMMAND.COM"
- after exiting an application.

- SOLUTION: Upon investigation, we found he was using ansi control codes
- in his prompt (had a little Texas flag for a prompt). As
- soon as he took the ansi string out of his prompt statement,
- it worked fine.
