I have recently purchaced TURBO Pascal 5.5 and find an annoying 'feature'
to their .exe files (I think). This involves two programs --
  1) MKS sh (a DOS version on the popular *nix shell - very nice!)
  2) The compiled output of TURBO Pascal

The facts as I know them:
1) executables compiled by TURBO execute under command.com
2) executables compiled by TURBO _do_not_ execute under sh
3) sh will execute any other .com .exe and .bat files  (including the 
    including the executables in the TURBO distribution!!??)

My questions:
1) Why is this?
2) Is there known way to get these programs to run under sh (i.e. a compiler
	 switch, etc.)?

My defence:
 Why yes, I have RTFM -- I found nothing.
