After a bit more playing around, it would appear that you don't have to use 
'ping' - it can be *any* command you type at the prompt that takes long 
enough for you to press F7 + Enter more than 5 or 6 times. For example, I did 
a "dir c:\progs /s" and whilst it was busy traversing the directory tree, I 
pressed F7 + Enter several times. When the "dir" was finished, the machine 
rebooted. It seems like it may be an overflow of some kind in the command 
execution history facility.
