I have two programs that I often have loaded at the same time, one is a term
program, and one is a word-processor (procomm, and w.p.).

Both of them have functions to escape to Dos, and then you type 'exit' to
get back to the program.   When I am in Dos during these times, I see:

Type "EXIT" to get back to WordPerfect
Type "EXIT" to get back to Procomm

If I just type "exit" it brings me back to whichever one I exited LAST.

Is there a way to designate which job I want to 'exit' to, so that I
can go back and forth between the two?

Thanks!
