Has anyone else had trouble with a file not returning to the calling procedure using 
ZIP RETURN ?

We have a small command file that restarts sessions when the user's system in Windows 
2000, that looks like the file below.  This has worked fine under 6.1A DOS, but all of 
a sudden, under 6.5++ 1.851xRT03, drops the users back to the R> prompt. The purpose 
of the file is to free up the memory that W2K does not deallocate in DOS sessions, 
preventing the black screen of death.

I've tried using an empty batch file with no luck.
"ZIP RETURN &vComSpec /C startapp.bat
and with the word "EXIT" in the batch file

FILES are set to 25 - and if I put GOTO STOP at the top of the 
file, it returns to the menu just fine.

I'm so confused....


---------------------------------------------------------------
-- STARTAPP.CMD

--GOTO STOP
WRITE "Please wait - RE-STARTING DATABASE SESSION" at 1,1 YELLOW ON GREEN
SET VAR VCOMSPEC TEXT = (ENVVAL("COMSPEC"))
IF VCOMSPEC LIKE "*WINNT*" THEN
  ZIP RETURN &VCOMSPEC /C EXIT
ENDIF

write "RE-START - OK                             " at 1,1 YELLOW ON GREEN
CLS

SET WALKMENU ON
SET FEEDBACK ON

LABEL STOP

RETURN
-------------------------------------------------------------
