   My point was that someone asked "why exit" but your response was   
   incomplete. With this additional information, it is clear, its being   
   used to force those separate CMD sessions closed to allow the main batch   
   to proceed with the next task.   
      
   I'll leave the semantics of CALLing a Sub and STARTing a Sub for another   
   discussion.
