 What are you looking for? The correct exit code?  Please porvide more
 info.
 
 All of my testing was done on Windows XP under the cmd.exe shell and
 under Windows XP while using Cygwin.

+Most of these questions are answered in the original report, but to clear:
+
+I was using Cygwin (bash shell).
+An "exit" statement needs adding into mcs.bat, mono.bat and all the
+other .bat files. They all exhibit the same design pattern and suffer
+the same design flaw.
+
+I am looking for the .bat files to provide the correct exit code. The
+test code given shows they are not providing the correct exit code
+under error conditions.
+
+You can check the exit code by using code such as:
+
+mcs.bat emptyfile.cs -o runme.exe && echo "this should not appear"
+
+"this should not appear" will be incorrectly displayed as mcs.bat
+should return with a bad exit code, thefore the echo should not run.
+Try the same with the .sh scripts - they work as one would expect.
