Most laptops and a few desktops power down when leaving the GUI at
shutdown. Those that don't _seem_ to lock up when you select shutdown;
it's not locked, it's just that the vidmode isn't valid for the text now
being output. If you get this blank screen, just do the old "mode co80".
You'll now be able to see what you're doing.
Thus, instead of "win", you may want to start Windows with "loadwin":
loadwin.bat -------
@win
@mode co80
The entire GUI session runs inside the bat and thus returns to a valid
DOS prompt after shutting down windows.
