Didn't you said some time ago that everything works as expected?  Or
was it someone else (am I talking to 2 people)?

How exactly did you invoke my program? what was the exact command
line?

Anyway, if the program I posted puts you in a new shell, then
something is seriously wrong with your setup (assuming that you
compiled and run a DJGPP program).

Are you at all able to invoke _any_ command via `system' from a short
test program without being put into a new shell?
