I cannot recreate this. If, from within links, I request an 'OS
shell' and later exit that shell, links is still running and I can
just 'q' to exit it.
I tried this from a Windows cmd.exe prompt using \cygwin\bin\links.exe
and also from within an rxvt (no X) bash prompt.
Both times, links spawned a cmd.exe prompt that worked as expected
when I exited it.
