That "apparently" is your problem, not info.exe or any of the other
programs you accuse of similar silly behaviour.  You obviously did *not*
actually shut it down, but pause it. 

You confused exiting a program with having that program give you a
"sub-shell" (often called "Shell to DOS" in CUA-style full-screen DOS
apps, e.g. things like RHIDE).  Exit info as it's supposed to be
exited (type 'q'), and this will *never* happen, promised.  Go test it
for yourself, right now.
