Are you sure that tc did not ignore stdin and just look at the name on the
command line and load that program?  This seems like a more reasonable
explanation, particularly since BORLAND is not noted for using stdin for
getting keyboard characters and instead using INT 9 (I think that's the
keyboard, but I am too lazy to look it up).

This is greater proof of the loading of the file named on the command
line.  This is the same thing that Wordstar will do if a file name is
mentioned on the command line.
