The setExitOnEOF flag will prevent the interpreter from shutting down 
the VM when you end the input stream - e.g. hit Control-D in the 
window.  However the exit() command is just a trivial wrapper around 
System.exit().

The exit command does pay attention to a variable called 
bsh.system.shutdownOnExit.  However if you set this to false the exit 
command doesn't really do anything.

These were both rough edges that need to be cleaned up...  sorry about 
that.
