Wiki merge error

[Claudius Link]

Hello,

I can't state on the context of the problem but the "exit /b"
is necessary if you like to use the scripts interactively from the command line.
Without the /b the whole command line windows will close
every time the exit is executed (very annoying).

Regards,
Claudius
