	I am trying to write a TSR to invoke a command when
the hot key triggers by making use of INT 21h, Function 4Bh (the
DOS EXEC function). I succeed in invoking the command, but after
the command completes, a return is not made to my TSR code at the
point immediately after the EXEC invocation as I desire. My system
simply hangs, requiring a reboot.

	I have attempted to set a terminate address via INT 22h
but that has failed.

	How do I make my TSR regain control immediately after
the EXEC'd command completes? I'm SO frustrated...

	Thanks,
