How can you have a qbasic program send you back to windows after it has ran. I have a couple of qbasic files I run from windows (.bat files) and when they are done they leave me in the qbasic file in dos. I'd like for them to take me back where I started on the desktop in windows.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know if there is a way to exit directly from QBasic, but if you have a compiler, a QBasic program could be converted to an exe file, then right-click the exe file in Explorer, or the shortcut, select Properties, Program, and click the Close on exit box.

This QB link (http://pages.prodigy.com/qbasic/files.htm) has some compilers available for download. I haven't tried them since I use QuickBASIC 4, which has a built-in compiler.

Thanks Reid
I'll try that I've downloaded the compiler and will change them over.

There are additional resources at Planet QBasic (http://www.iogopro.freeserve.co.uk/pqb/main.html), if you need them.
