Why does this work? I usually get this message, when my program IS a batch
file, itself - not an exe or com executable. My batch file might have
an interactive program containing a pop-up, such as acd (enhanced change
directory). So a pop up screen lets me pick a director, and then acd goes
thee, the pop up screen vanishes, and I get the Ctrl-C message.

Command.com /c would start a subshell and then immediately close it, and
would do so at the start of my batch file. What good will this do, if the
offending program accurs later in my batch file?

This command.com /c does not work anyway. I have tried it.
