While using TP 5.0's EXEC command, the program seems to 'skip' over the EXEC
statement. I am using the $M compiler directive, but it still won't work.

 the program:

program testEXEC;

{$M $4000,0,0}
 uses DOS;

begin
 exec ('Command.com','');
end.

and Command.com *IS* in the same directory as the program for this test!

Does anyone have any Ideas? (please Email me, and I'll post a summary)
