How to quit the JShell and go back to the command-line?

Question

When using the JShell, how do I exit it back to the CMD line?

I have already tried ctrl + x and just writing quit, but to no joy.

Type `/help` to get all commands. You're looking for the `/exit` command. You can also hit Ctrl+D which signals "end of file" which also causes it to exit. — DodgyCodeException, Oct 25 '17 at 10:55
I tried everything short of just banging the keyboard like a chimpanzee, thanks for the question/answer — Jim, Jul 21 '21 at 06:57

You can use the JShell command to exit as:

/exit

Side note: Interestingly, with the use of command abbreviations for input shortcuts:-

/ex

(of course /exi) also, resolves into the same command.
