I am trying to write a very simple program but I am having a difficulty with
the halt function.  I want the program to end and set an errorlevel so I can
test it via a batch file.

Example:

program test;
begin
 halt(1);
end.

should it not give an errorlevel of 1?

XYZ.BAT contains:
test
if errorlevel 1 ver

It does not print out the dos version.  I beleive I have used this in the
past, but I only have 6.0 loaded on my machine now.  Any ideas?  Does anyone
with 5.x want to try it?
