SUMMARY
=======

After running a QBasic program, control is returned to the QBasic editor. To
automatically return to the command prompt after running a QBasic program, do
one of the following:

- Add the following line to the end of the QBasic program so that the statement
  executes at the end of the program:

  " SYSTEM " (without the quotation marks)

- Run the QBasic program with the "/run" option from the command prompt. For
  example, if the QBasic program is called TEST.BAS, type the following:

  " QBASIC /RUN TEST.BAS " (without the quotation marks)
