Closing DOS window after shell command

I have a macro that runs the shell command to run a DOS
batchfile. At the end of the batchfile, the DOS window
will not close, even though the last line of the file is
EXIT. If I run the batchfile from a DOS window to begin
with, then the DOS window closes.

I am running Excel 2000 under Windows 98.

How can I close the DOS window from the macro?

TIA
Garry
