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.

Answer

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.
