=====================================================

As far as I can tell, whenever you start a DOS session the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file in the root directory is executed to "set up" the DOS session.

My AUTOEXEC.BAT ends with 0D 0A 0D 0D 0A (CRLF CR CRLF).

If I edit this file and change these last characters to, say, 0D 0A
(CRLF) and then try to start a DOS session I get a hard freeze and have
to do a cold reboot. I'm running W4FP10.

Does anyone know what the trailing control characters are supposed to be
(or not supposed to be) on AUTOEXEC.BAT?
